Effect of Feeding Status on Adjuvant Arthritis Severity, Cachexia, and Insulin Sensitivity in Male Lewis Rats
Figure 4
Anorexigenic (a) and orexigenic (c) neuropeptide and IL-1 (b) mRNA expressions in the ARC in healthy control (CN, SHF, FR) and arthritic rats (AA-N, AA-SHF, AA-FR) on day 18 after cFA inoculation. Results are expressed in arbitrary units as the ratio of given mRNA to 18S rRNA. Significant differences between healthy controls on different dietary regime: . Significant differences between control rats and arthritic rats on the same dietary regime: . Significant differences between arthritic groups: (AA-FR versus AA-N); (AA-FR versus AA-SHF); (AA-SHF versus AA-N). For abbreviations see Figure 1.
