Low protein diets increase neuropeptide Y gene expression in the basomedial hypothalamus of rats
BD White, B He, RG Dean, RJ Martin - The Journal of nutrition, 1994 - Elsevier
Food deprivation elevates both neuropeptide Y (NPY) gene expression in the basomedial
hypothalamus and NPY levels in the paraventricular nucleus (PVN). To gain a better
understanding of the dietary control of NPY, we systematically examined the effects of
macronutrient restriction on the gene expression of NPY in the basomedial hypothalamus
and NPY content in the PVN. Rats were fed one of eight different diets for 12 d. The control
group was fed a modified AIN-76 diet. One group was fed the modified AIN-76 diet but was …
