Real-time PCR analysis of GR mRNA expression in the hippocampus (a) and hypothalamus (b) after acute stress exposure. Results are the means ± SEMs of at least four independent experiments. Cont: control mice; Stress (YKS−): acute stress-exposed mice; Stress (YKS+): 1.0 g/kg YKS pretreatment and stress-exposed mice; ∗ P < 0.05, Student's t-test.
