Ion channel mRNA expression in GnRH neurons from oil-treated animals.
Channel | (n) | Morning (ZT 4) | Evening (ZT 11) | Significance |
---|---|---|---|---|
CaV 1.3 (L-type) | 3 | 1.098 ± 0.043 | 1.244 ± 0.171 | p = 0.454 |
CaV 2.3 (R-type) | 3 | 1.215 ± 0.175 | 1.243 ± 0.383 | p= 0.951 |
TRPC4 | 3 | 1.122 ± 0.116 | 0.898 ± 0.147 | p= 0.298 |
SK3 | 3 | 1.157 ± 0.206 | 1.382 ± 0.097 | p= 0.378 |
HCN1 | 3 | 1.093 ± 0.102 | 1.599 ± 0.275 | p= 0.160 |
Four pools of 5 cells were harvested from each of 3 animals at each time point. There were no differences in channel expression comparing evening versus morning samples.
