Post-natal day | CT PACAP | CT GAPDH | % adult HT |
---|---|---|---|
6 | 29.23 ± 0.29 | 20.42 ± 0.03 | 11.66 |
12 | 29.54 ± 0.05 | 19.83 ± 0.04 | 6.25 |
PACAP mRNA was measured in total cerebellum from post-natal days 6 and 12 wild type and PACAP-deficient mice as described in Section 2. The threshold cycle number (CT) ± S.E.M. for PACAP and GAPDH transcripts was measured (n = 3), and used to calculate the concentration of PACAP mRNA in developing cerebellum as a function of its concentration in a PACAP-rich mouse reference tissue, the hypothalamus (HT).
