Table 2. Results of quantitative RT-PCR analysis of relative AQP4 mRNA expression in hypoglycemic rat brain cortical tissue (mean ± SD).
Group | △CT | △△CT | 2−△△CT |
Normal Control | 8.5±1.01 | 0 | 1 |
Sham Hypo | 8.18±0.32 | −0.32±0.32 | 1.27±0.27 |
Hypo | 7.25±0.9 | −1.25±0.90 | 2.75±1.59 |
Hypo+R6 h | 6.63±0.80 | −1.87±0.80 | 3.28±1.15 |
Hypo+R24 h | 6.42±0.56 | −2.09±0.56 | 4.53±1.88# |
Hypo+R3 d | 6.42±0.38 | −2.08±0.38 | 4.33±1.11# |
Levels of AQP4 mRNA were upregulated after 24 h of recovery compared to the Sham Hypo group (p<0.05). # p<0.05 (Dunnett's method, n = 5). CT: cycle threshold for the gene. SD: standard deviation.
