Fluoxetine decreases the levels of abundant neuropeptides (NPY and CART) in hypothalamic differentiated neuroprogenitor cells.

<p>Fluoxetine decreases the mRNA levels of neuropeptides that are abundant in differentiated hypothalamic neuroprogenitor cultures NPY (<b>A</b>) and CART (<b>D</b>), but has no effect in the mRNA of AgRP (<b>B</b>) and POMC (<b>C</b>). Mean ± SEM; n = 5; One-Way ANOVA; ns, p>0.05; *, p<0.05; **, p<0.01; ***, p<0.001 compared to control; NS, p>0.05, ^#, p<0.05, ^###, p<0.001 compared to fluoxetine.
