Dietary Phytoestrogens Influence on Brain NPY Levels in 75 day-old Male Long-Evans Rats. In the paraventricular (PVN) and arcuate (ARC) nucleus, males fed the Phyto-600 (600) diet displayed significantly greater NPY levels (* p < 0.05) compared to males fed the Phyto-Free (Free) diet. In the median eminence (ME) no significant differences were observed between male rats fed 600 vs. the Free diet.
