Relative abundance of CRH mRNA in the PVN of 6- and 9-day-old rats under stress-free control conditions and following cold exposure. Values of CRH mRNA levels were obtained from animals sacrificed 4 h after cold exposure (found previously to be optimal for maximal stress-induced CRH expression [12,44]) and are expressed as the mean±S.E.M. of at least five values per group. No significant difference was observed between controls and cold-stressed rats at 6 days of age. However, a significant increase in CRH mRNA (P<0.0005) was observed in 9-day-old rats subjected to cold, compared to age-matched controls.
