Figure 8. Type 2 and type 3 deiodinase gene expression in ventricular ependymal cells of switchback and refractory hamsters.

Figure 8

Analysis and representative sections of (A) Dio2 and (B) images of Dio3 expression in the tanycytes of hamsters that had been kept in LD or SD for 14 weeksor 39 weeks, and hamsters that had been switched from SD to LD after 16 weeks and were culled after 22 weeks (SWB22) alongside an LD control group. Data are presented as means ± SEM and significance was defined as *p<0.05 and ***p<0.001. Images shown for Dio2 expression are from the 14 week and 22 week housed hamsters. Images shown for Dio3 expression are from the 14, 22 and 39 week housed hamsters.
