ACC Activity in Whole Brain under Food Deprivation. Summary of data showing the ACC activity with and without citrate of ad libitum (controls) and upon 1 h, 3 h, 6 h, 9 h, 12 h, and 24 h deprivation. Each value represents an average of activities from brain extracts of four separate animals. Each extract was assayed in duplicate. Values presented as mean ± SD. A one-way analysis of variance revealed significant differences between the groups in the presence of citrate [F(6,21) = 4.47, p < 0.001] and in the absence of citrate, [F(6,21) = 3.54, p < 0.01]).

Deprivation Regimen Time (hours)
ACC Activity without Citrate (fmol/min/mg tissue) ± SD
ACC Activity with Citrate (fmol/min/mg tissue) ± SD
