Figure 2.

The results of Q-PCR analysis of selected genes using total RNA from the amygdala from stressed (STR, n = 9) and control (CTL, n = 9) mice. Insulin-like growth factor 2 (Igf2) (A), Insulin-like growth factor binding protein-2 (Igfbp2) (B), Igfbp4(C), growth differentiation factor 10 (Gdf10) (D), fibromodulin (E), osteoglycin (F), procollagen C-proteinase enhancer protein (Pcolce) (G), and thrombomodulin (H) mRNAs were significantly decreased in the amygdala of STR mice. Data are the means ± SEM. *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01 between the CTL and STR groups
