Effect of IGF-1 on basal RPTPβ (A), contactin (B), and Caspr1 (C) gene expressions in the MBH of prepubertal female rats as determined by real-time PCR. IGF-1 (200 ng) was injected into the third ventricle and gene expressions in the MBH were assessed at 6h post-injection. Note that IGF-1 induced a significant increase in RPTPβ gene expression compared with control animals, but did not affect the expression of either contactin or Caspr1.The respective bars illustrate the mean (±SEM) of an N of 7 per group for RPTPβ and an N of 8–10 per group for contactin and Caspr1. *p<0.05 versus control.
