Deletion of Cpt1a in AgRP neurons impairs PVN activation during water restriction. a Representative images of Fos activation in the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) of female (left panel) and male mice (right panel) under conditions of ad libitum access to water or 24 h of water restriction. Dashed lines indicate the PVN area analyzed. b, c Quantification of Fos-positive cells per PVN section in female (b, n = 4–4) and male (c, n = 4–4) mice. Data are expressed as the mean ± SEM. In b and a, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.001, using two-way ANOVA followed by the post hoc Bonferroni test
