Some mice become obese whereas others remain lean when raised on a high-energy diet. This study examined the levels of neuropeptide Y (NPY), and of Y1, Y2, Y5 and leptin receptor mRNA expression in the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus (Arc) of chronic high-energy diet-induced obese (1310) and resistant (DR) mice. Forty mice were divided into two groups and fed either a high-fat (HF: 40% of calories from fat, 20% of calories from saturated fat; n=34) or low-fat (LF: 10% of calories from fat, 1% from saturated fat; n=6) diet. After 22 weeks of feeding, visceral fat accumulation was 69% higher in DIO mice compared with DR mice, and the former showed a moderate level of glucose intolerance. In DIO mice, the levels of NPY and leptin receptor mRNA expressions were significantly higher than in LF mice (+32 and +14%, P
