Figure 1. SGK3 mRNA expression in hippocampus after pharmacological NMDA receptor stimulation.
mRNA levels of SGK3 before and after incubation of hippocampal slices with 10 µM NMDA for 30 minutes, determined by quantitative RT-PCR. The expression data from hippocampus were normalized to the expression of the housekeeping gene β-actin. The quantitative RT-PCR revealed a 2.5±0,52 fold increase in SGK3 mRNA in NMDA-treated compared to non-treated hippocampal slices. Number of experiments n = 4.
