a Experimental timeline. b Average GluA1 surface expression in obesity-prone (OP) and obesity-resistant (OR) rats. GluA1 surface expression increased following 2 weeks of junk-food deprivation in obesity-prone, but not obesity-resistant rats. c Average GluA2 surface expression in obesity-prone and obesity-resistant rats. GluA2 surface expression was not altered by junk-food in either group. All data shown as mean ± SEM unless otherwise noted. *p < 0.05 obesity-prone chow vs. p < 0.05 junk- food.
