Abstract excerpt
Hypothalamic preproNPY overexpression in the Zucker fatty (fa/fa) rat was examined. In situ hybridization was used to determine the relative level of preproNPY mRNA in the arcuate nucleus of +/+, +/fa, and fa/fa pups aged postnatal day 2 (P2), 5, 9, 12, or 25. The relative optical density (ROD) of probe hybridization in the arcuate, the area of hybridization (A), and the product of ROD x A (a measure of total...
