Kainate receptor mRNA expression levels in hippocampus of wild-type and Ames dwarf mice. The mRNA levels of KAR1, KAR2, GluR5, GluR6, and GluR7 were assessed in the hippocampi of both genotypes. The expression levels of KAR2 were higher in the Ames dwarf as compared with wild-type mice. Following KA injection, KAR2, GluR5, GluR6, and GluR7 mRNA decreased. Data are presented as mean ± SEM. In both genotypes, n = 5–6 for each treatment group
