Fasting in males had differential effects on expression of Foxo1 and Ucp2 expression.
In males, DIO suppressed ARC and NPY Ghsr and Cpt1c expression.
In females, E2 augmented ARC Ghsr, Cpt1c, and Foxo1 but suppressed NPY Foxo1.
In females, DIO suppressed ARC Agrp and augmented NPY Cpt1c.
Ghrelin suppressed M-current activity by ∼50% in NPY neurons from fed male mice.
