Abstract:AbstractThe regulation of food intake is one of the major research areas in the study of metabolic syndromes such as obesity. Gene targeting studies have clarified the roles of hypothalamic neurons in feeding behaviour. However, our understanding of neural function under physiological conditions is still limited. Immediate early genes, such as activity-regulated cytoskeleton-associated protein (Arc/Arg3.1), are useful markers of neuronal activity. Here, we investigated the role… Show more
