Figure 6

Effects of different proteins on post-treatment mRNA expression of satiety-related genes. Legend: Effects of each protein on hypothalamic proopiomelanocortin (POMC) mRNA (panel a), agouti-related peptide (AGRP) mRNA (panel b), neuropeptide Y (NPY) mRNA (panel c), and leptin receptor (LEPR) mRNA (panel d). Data are presented as means ± standard error (CTL n = 13 per bar, protein groups n = 5–8 per bar). One-way ANOVAs with a Fisher’s LSD post hoc test were performed and significant between-feeding differences are represented with different superscript letters (p < 0.05).
