HSV-CREB injections into the rat NAc increase CART peptide levels. The levels of CART peptide (approximately 6.5 kDa) in NAc from an HSV-CREB treated animal were determined by Western blot and compared to CART peptide levels in a control animal treated with HSV-LacZ (ratio of 1.32±0.073, p<0.01). The three lanes on the left show triplicate repeats using tissue from one of a pair of animals, and the three lanes on the right are triplicate repeats from the other, control animal of the pair. Each lane is normalized to whole tissue actin (approximately 50 kDa) as measured by Western blot. After normalization, the ratio of the pair of values were calculated and analyzed as described in the Experimental procedures. This result is representative of a total of six pairs of animals prepared and assayed separately in independent experiments. See text for details.
