Ablation of MC4R drives activation of POMC neurons. (A and B) POMC western blot and densitometric quantification in hypothalamus. (C and D) Immunofluorescence for POMC neurons (red), c-Fos (green) and merge in ARC sections and integrated density quantification in POMC neurons and colocalization in 21-weeks old control and MC4R mice treated with or without HFD. Scale bar = 100 μm. Two-way ANOVA. *P < 0.05 vs. chow-Control; #P < 0.05 vs. HFD-Control.
