Effect of TCDD on Cyp1a1 and Cyp1b1 mRNA levels in isolated rat brain microvessels. (A) Freshly isolated rat brain microvessels from naïve rats were incubated ex vivo for 3 h with 25 nM TCDD (n = 4 rats per group). (B) Rats were dosed with a single i.p. dose of 25 μg/kg TCDD and brain microvessels were isolated at 72 h (n = 8 rats per group). Data are shown as relative expression of Cyp1a1 or Cyp1b1 mRNA in treated and control rats using q-PCR. Results are expressed as means ± SD ***p < 0.001 (Student's t-test).
