GR and MR mRNA in the dentate gyrus in ADX corticosterone-implanted rats treated with either l-NAME or daily injections of additional cortocosterone or both

Treatment (in addition to ADX + 30% corticosterone pellet s.c.)	Optical density (pixels)
	GR mRNA	MR mRNA
Oil s.c. + saline i.p.	112.6 ± 3.05	304.9 ± 32.57
Oil s.c. + l-NAME (50 mg/kg)	113.4 ± 2.60	244.2 ± 28.60
Daily cort (2 mg/kg) + saline i.p.	126.0 ± 2.36	277.7 ± 21.93
Daily cort (2 mg/kg) + l-NAME (50 mg/kg)	119.2±1.65	233.6±10.15

Data are presented as mean ± SD; Significance levels: Pairwise comparisons (Bonferroni): *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 compared to control group.
