Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Expressions of the HDAC family (HDAC 1 to 11) were examined in various brain regions and these results were published as a paper (Takase et al., 2013). In the process, the data on HDAC expressions of obese mice were accumulated. Furthermore, behavioral changes of mice deficient in MCH were quantitatively analyzed using statistical methods and these results were also published as a paper (Takase et al., 2014). We also quantitatively analyzed behavioral changes of obese mice and published there results as a paper (Takase et al., 2016). From the comparison of these data, we were able to obtain results supporting the validity of our research hypothesis. In addition, due to changes in the institution to which the applicant belongs, situations in which progress has been slightly delayed have also been improved. We are ready for comprehensive behavioral analysis of mice that manipulated HDAC expression and the analysis of gene expression changes in them.
