Within the arcuate nucleus (ARC) of the hypothalamus, leptin influences two key neuronal populations. One, the agouti-related protein (AGRP) and neuropeptide Y (NPY) neurons, stimulates hunger ...

The results were expressed as relative intensity of GFAP, TNF-α, CNTF, HSP70 or NSE in hypothalamic ARC AgRP- or NPY-expressing neurons for each group of mice. RNA was isolated from cells using ...

Within the ARC, there are orexigenic coexpressing neuropeptide Y/Agouti gene-related protein (NPY/AgRP) and anorexigenic pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC)/cocaine- and amphetamine-related transcript ...
