Fluoxetine treatment during gestation, but not at adulthood, influences neuronal PAS domain protein 4 (Npas4) gene expression in the hippocampus of adult rats. Npas4 mRNA levels were measured in the hippocampus of adult rats that were treated chronically with fluoxetine during gestation (a) or at adulthood (b). The data, expressed as a percentage of animals treated with vehicle (set at 100%), are the mean±SEM from at least seven independent determinations. ^*p<0.05 vs vehicle-treated rats (Student's t-test).
