Gene expression analysis in the central amygdala. Compared with their respective CTRLs (CTRL Full), rats exposed to the entire stress protocol (Full PPS or Peripubertal Stress) showed an increase in the expression of NR1 mRNA (a), a trend toward an increase in VGLUT1 mRNA levels (b) and a decrease in GAD67 mRNA levels (c). Furthermore, no difference was found in the expression of VGAT mRNA between Full PPS and CTRL Full rats (d), whereas Full PPS rats showed a higher VGLUT1/VGAT ratio than CTRL Full rats (e). Juvenile Stress (fj) and Puberty Stress (ko) rats exhibited no changes in the expression of the genes examined here. (N: CTRL Full=12–13, Full PPS=12–15, CTRL Juvenile=10, Juvenile Stress=20, CTRL Puberty=13–14, Puberty Stress=14–16), *P<0.05, ** P<0.01 versus CTRL, results are the mean±s.e.m.
