Fasting differentially affects taste-induced c-fos expression in the LS and the LHb. a, b Representative images showing c-fos-positive cells in the LS (a) and in the LHb (b). c, d Quantification of c-fos-positive cells in the LS (c) and in the LHb (d). The mice were treated with sucrose or bitter taste under fed or fasted conditions. n = 3–5 mice per group and ~10 brain slices per mouse were analyzed. F = 51.25 and P = 4.9 × 10–8 in c, F = 11.1 and P = 0.0069 in d, one-way ANOVA with Dunnett’s post hoc test. All experiments were carried out with 10- to 16-week-old male mice. Data are given as means ± SEM. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 as compared with the control group
