Abstract:Objective: In this experiment, we mainly investigated whether oxytocin (OT) acts on the Nucleus Accumbens Core (NAc) to regulate the feeding behavior of rats. Methods: Immunohistochemical experiment was used to observe the expression of OT receptor in NAc; To observe the effect of direct injection of OT in NAc on hunger-and palatability-driven food intake; c-Fos expression can be used as a marker of neuronal activation. After the NAc injection ofOT, the expression of c-fos in the hypothalamus was observed. Res… Show more
