Modulation of feeding by chronic rAAV expression of a relaxin-3 peptide agonist in rat hypothalamus.

abstract：:Cytomegalovirus (CMV) promoter is often present in recombinant adenovirus vectors (AdVs) suitable for gene therapy, ensuring high levels of transgene production in a wide range of hosts. Despite this characteristic, the presence of the AdV genome in target cells and tissues typically lasts longer than transgene produc...
