Figure 3. Surgical castration increases epinephrine and activates the PKA/BAD signaling pathway.

Figure 3

A) Epinephrine levels in plasma of castrated mice either left intact or subjected to immobilization stress for 1 h. Contr = intact mice; CC = castrated and not stressed (calm); CS = castrated and stressed. B, C) Increased BAD and CREB phosphorylation in prostates of castrated mice. (B) Western blot and (C) densitometric analysis of Western blots of proteins extracted from anterior prostate glands of same mice as in (A). At least 3 mice were used for each data point. Error bars represent SD from the average. Contr = intact mice; CC = castrated and not stressed (calm); CS = castrated and stressed.
