Fig. 1

A representative picture of microinjection sites in the PVN evaluated by Evans blue (50 nL) diffusion (a); the effect of HFD on the values of systolic blood pressure (SBP) and the plasma levels of norepinephrine (NE) and TNFα (bd for each group, n = 7); and the relative values of TNFα protein expression and mRNA levels in the PVN (e, f for each group, n = 4–5). The values are mean ± SD.*p < 0.05 versus Control. Arrows indicate the microinjection sites. PVN paraventricular nucleus, 3V the third ventricle, OH obesity-related hypertension. SBP was measured under conscious state
