Fig. 4From: LPS immune challenge reduces arcuate nucleus TSHR and CART mRNA and elevates plasma CART peptidesRelative mRNA expression (mean ± SEM units/units GAPDH) for a TSHR, b TSHβ, and c CART in the pituitary of LPS-treated (n = 5) or control (n = 6) mice. Two-tailed Mann–Whitney U-test was used for data analysis. (*P < 0.05, ***P < 0.001)Back to article page
