Uncoupling protein 3 andhypothalamic neuropeptide yexpression in response todietary fat in rats

ABSTRACT

Objective:Obesity results when energy intake is greater than energyexpenditure. Skeletal muscles [SK.M] UCP3 and central NPY play an im-portant role in energy balance. The aim is to study the changes of [SK.M]UCP3 expression, and hypothalamic NPYmRNA expression after pro-longed feeding with high-fat diet [HFD]
