Figure 1. Characterization of mice lacking GalR1.

Figure 1

Real-time PCR quantification of the levels of GalR1, GalR2, and galanin produced in the hippocampus of wildtype (GalR1+/+) and GalR1 mutants (GalR1−/−). Expression levels were standardized relative to GAPDH transcript levels using the standard curve method. Values are provided as mean ± SEM from 6–9 mice per strain analyzed in triplicate. Expression studies demonstrated that the hippocampus of knockout animals had a minimal expression of GalR1 when compared to wild-type littermates. In contrast, differences in the expression of GalR2 or galanin between GalR1−/− mice and their wildtype littermates were not observed in the hippocampus. *P<0.05.
