Tph2 expression and serotonin synthesis in Tph2−/− mice. (a) RT–PCR analysis of Tph2 expression in the brain. AU, arbitrary units. **P<0.01, Student's t-test. (b) 5-HT level in the whole brain (HPLC measurement). Tph2+/+ 5-HT level is taken as 100%. (c) 5-HTP level in the whole brain 1 h after NSD administration (100 mg kg–1, intraperitoneally) (HPLC measurement). Tph2+/+ 5-HTP level is taken as 100%. Data are shown as means±s.e.m., n=6. ***P<0.001, **P<0.01 vs Tph2+/+; §§§P<0.001 vs Tph2+/−, one-way ANOVA with Bonferroni correction. ANOVA, analysis of variance; HPLC, high-performance liquid chromatography; 5-HT, 5-hydroxytryptamine; 5-HTP, 5-hydroxytryptophan.
