1 Injection with cerulenin, like feeding and leptin, also increased Fos immunoreactivity in the lateral peri-arcuate area (P<0.03) and, more specifically, in neurons expressing POMC. Cerulenin FBJ osteosarcoma oncogene Mus musculus
2 In contrast, injection with cerulenin had no grossly observable effects on cortical Fos immunoreactivity and appeared to suppress fasting-induced Fos immunoreactivity by about 35% (although the decrease did not reach statistical significance) in the medial arcuate nucleus, an area associated with anabolic responses such as increased food intake. Cerulenin FBJ osteosarcoma oncogene Mus musculus
3 Injection with cerulenin also decreased Fos immunoreactivity in the granular layer of the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus by about 30% (P<0.05), further suggesting that cerulenin does not non-specifically activate wide varieties of neurons. Cerulenin FBJ osteosarcoma oncogene Mus musculus
