Arcuate Nucleus Overexpression of NHLH2 Reduces Body Mass and Attenuates Obesity-Associated Anxiety/Depression-like Behavior

Table 4.

Impact of Nhlh2 hypothalamic overexpression on body mass gain and caloric intake in female mice^{^a}

Parameter	SCc	OEc
Nhlh2 transcript (relative to control)	1.00 ± 0.32	1.38 ± 0.34^*
Body mass gain (g)	9.4 ± 2.2	5.3 ± 2.0^*
Caloric intake (kcal/d)	17.8 ± 3.3	13.1 ± 2.4^*

↵^aIn all experiments, n = 10. SCc, Scrambled fed on chow; OEc, overexpression fed on chow.
↵*p < 0.05 versus SCc.
