Figure Lengend Snippet: c-Fos expression was induced in the SFO of SAP-D −/− mice without dehydration. a) Expression levels of c-Fos , Gpr37 , and Cd68 in the SFO and fornix were quantified via RT-qPCR. For RNA extraction, tissue samples were microdissected from the brains of 6-month-old female WT mice (n = 10) and SAP-D −/− mice (n = 6) under a stereomicroscope. After cDNA synthesis, RT-qPCR was performed, and the data were normalized to Gapdh expression. A significant increase in Cd68 expression was observed in SAP-D −/− mice, consistent with immunostaining results, confirming accurate sampling of the SFO and surrounding fornix. The results of Student's t-tests for each panel are as follows: left panel, p = 0.0046, Cohen's d = 1.74 (95 % CI: 0.0027, 0.0122); center panel, p = 0.0352, Cohen's d = 1.20 (95 % CI: 0.00091, 0.02191); and right panel, p = 0.0007, Cohen's d = 2.41 (95 % CI: 0.0079, 0.0233). b) Immunofluorescent staining of c-Fos (green) in the SFO of 10-month-old female WT and SAP-D −/− mice. WT and SAP-D −/− mice had free access to drinking water (indicated as FD) or 24 h water deprivation (indicated as DH). The white dotted lines enclose the SFO. Nuclei are labeled by DAPI (blue) staining. Scale bars, 50 μm. c) Percentage of c-Fos positive cells among all DAPI stained cells in the SFO (%). Data are shown as the mean ± SD (n = 7). , , , and indicate the individual values in each group. Two-way ANOVA showed significant main effects of water deprivation, F(1,24) = 35.13, p < 0.0001, ηp 2 = 0.13, 95 % CI (−8.67, −4.19), and genotype, F(1,24) = 130.40, p < 0.0001, ηp 2 = 0.36, 95 % CI (−14.64, −10.16), as well as a significant water deprivation × genotype interaction, F(1,24) = 38.60, p < 0.0001, ηp 2 = 0.14, 95 % CI (−17.98, −9.01). Post-hoc Tukey's tests showed significant differences between WT-FD versus WT-DH ( p < 0.0001, Cohen's d = 5.83 [95 % CI: −17.42, −8.94]), WT-FD versus SAP-D −/− -FD ( p < 0.0001, Cohen's d = 6.91 [95 % CI: −23.38, −14.91]), and WT-DH versus SAP-D −/− -DH ( p = 0.006, Cohen's d = 1.90 [95 % CI: −9.89, −1.41]), but no significant difference between SAP-D −/− -FD versus SAP-D −/− -DH ( p = 0.997, Cohen's d = 0.09 [95 % CI: −3.92, 4.54]). ns: no significant difference. ∗∗∗ p < 0.001, ∗∗ p < 0.01, ∗ p < 0.05.
