Abstract excerpt
Some mice become obese whereas others remain lean when raised on a high-energy diet. This study examined the levels of neuropeptide Y (NPY), and of Y1, Y2, Y5 and leptin receptor mRNA expression in the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus (Arc) of chronic high-energy diet-induced obese (DIO) and resistant (DR) mice. Forty mice were divided into two groups and fed either a high-fat (HF: 40% of calories from fat, 20% of...
