Figure 1. Real-time RT-PCR measurement of mRNA for the CYP11B2 and CYP11B1 genes that code for aldosterone synthase and the 11β-hydroxylase enzymes, respectively, in different parts of the brain and in the adrenal gland.
The results are expressed as multiples of the mRNA/GAPDH of the cerebellum of the SD rats assigned the value of 1. Bars indicate s.e.m.; *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01.
