Acute CORT treatment did not increase PVN or prelimbic cortex Mkp-1 mRNA levels. Adrenal-intact rats were injected with CORT (2.5 mg/kg i.p.) or vehicle 1 or 3 hr prior to sacrifice. There was very low Mkp-1 mRNA expression in the PVN for the 4 treatment groups. There was a moderately high level of Mkp-1 mRNA expression in the prelimbic (PrL) subregion of the mPFC 1 hr after injection and lower levels 3 hr after injection (p < 0.05), but the levels did not differ between CORT or vehicle injected rats. *, significant pretreatment-time difference effect in the PrL.
