The expression of mRNA in the hippocampus and frontal cortex.

<p>The rats were fed with control (C) or high fat/high fructose (HF/HFr) diets supplemented or not with cinnamon (CN) for 12 weeks, then exposed (Stress) or not (Rest) before the sacrifice. The 8 groups were the following: C (Rest: n = 8, Stress: n = 8), HF/HFr (Rest: n = 8, Stress: n = 8), C+CN (Rest: n = 9, Stress: n = 7) and HF/HFr+CN (Rest: n = 8, Stress: n = 8). Comparisons are made using three-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni <i>post-hoc</i> tests for all couples. Here are reported only those concerning the Rest <i>vs</i>. Stress conditions in each diet. Results are expressed as following: a: p<0.10, b: p<0.05, c: p<0.01, d: p<0.001 and e: p<0.0001. Values are expressed as mean ± SEM.
