Fig 1: Upper part depicts examples of western blot membranes for Hcrt/OxR2 and cofilin in hypothalamic extracts from each experimental group. Note the presence of two very close bands for this receptor (see also Supplementary Figure 2). (A,B) Are boxplots showing the relative hypothalamic values of the upper band (A) and the lower band (B) levels of the Hcrt/OxR2 normalized to cofilin for each group. Dots represent single measures of the levels of the upper band (A) and the lower band (B) of the Hcrt/OxR2 normalized to cofilin for the males and the females in each group. The three horizontal lines of the boxes represent the first, second (median), and third quartiles, respectively, with the whisk extending to 1.5 inter-quartile range.
