Mice were fed either a low fat diet (LFD) or high fat diet (HFD) for 12 wks. Mice were then fed or fasted (fast) for 24 h. A, qPCR was used to quantify F4/80 mRNA from whole brain. Results are expressed as relative fold change in mRNA expression (ΔmRNA), means ± SEM; n= 8; main effect of state (p=0.003). B, qPCR was used to quantify CD11b mRNA from brain. Results are expressed as relative fold change in mRNA expression (ΔmRNA), means ± SEM; n= 8; main effect of state (p=0.004). Bars without a common superscript letter are different (p<0.05).
