Summary of changes in gene expression of primary hypothalamic neurons obtained from chicks following feeding or fasting for 24 or 48 h and treated in cell culture. Gray boxes represent receptors and white boxes represent the receptor agonists utilized for treatment in culture. Lines indicate a significant effect on a specific gene following addition of the agonist in culture as compared with the non-treated control within the same group (fed or fasted) and time point (24 or 48 h). Lines ending in arrows indicate an increase in gene expression level, and lines ending with a bar indicate a reduction in gene expression level due to treatment.
