Expression of glutamate transporters (EAATs) in the plasma membrane of the amygdala region. Seven- to nine-week old CD-1 wild-type or EAAT3 knockout mice were subjected to the fear conditioning stimuli. Their amygdalae were harvested before the stimuli (time 0) and 30 min after the stimuli for Western blotting of EAAT2 and EAAT3 (panels A and B, respectively). A representative Western blot is shown in the top of each panel and a graphic presentation of the EAAT protein abundance quantified by integrating the volume of autoradiogram bands from 8 to 16 mice for each experimental condition is shown in the bottom of each panel. Values in graphs are the means ± SEM. *P < 0.05 compared with wild-type mice; ^P < 0.05 compared with the corresponding value at time 0 (control). EAAT3 −/− : glutamate transporter type 3 knockout.
