Roles of hypothalamic neuropeptide gene expression in body mass regulation in Eothenomys miletus (Mammalia: Rodentia: Cricetidae)

To investigate the roles of hypothalamic neuropeptide expression in body mass regulation in Eothenomys miletus, body mass, food intake, serum leptin levels and hypothalamic neuropeptide expression were measured in seasonal-acclimatized and lab-acclimated animals. The results showed that body mass, b...
