Abstract Stress is an inevitable interference factor that seriously affects health. Listening to music is an economical, noninvasive, and highly accepted tool for easing stress. However, physiological studies investigating the ability of music to
reduce stress in daily life are limited. We established rat models of chronic immobilization stress (CIS) to observe
changes in the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus (ARC) neurons involved in the regulation of food intake and the effect

weight gain; up-regulation of leptin receptor (Ob-R), cocaine- and amphetamine-regulated transcript (CART),
proopiomelanocortin (POMC),… More >
