From: Eating ‘Junk-Food’ Produces Rapid and Long-Lasting Increases in NAc CP-AMPA Receptors: Implications for Enhanced Cue-Induced Motivation and Food Addiction

Figure 3

The relative abundance of NAc GluA1 surface vs intracellular (S/I) protein expression is enhanced after junk-food consumption and deprivation only in obesity-prone rats. This was due to shifts in both surface and intracellular protein expression. (a) Surface to intracellular ratio, (b) surface and (c) intracellular expression of GluA1 protein in obesity-resistant (OR) and obesity-prone (OP) rats given chow or junk-food. All data shown as mean±SEM; *p<0.05: OP-JF vs OP-Chow.
