Figure 1. Baseline differences in Gadd45 gene expression in the entire nucleus accumbens (NAc) in C57BL/6J (C57) mice compared to DBA/2J (DBA).
A. Gadd45b and Gadd45g mRNA expression is lower in the NAc of C57 mice (n = 9) compared to the DBA strain (n = 9). B. We find no significant differences in Dnmt1, 3a, or 3b mRNA expression in the NAc in these strains. C. We also find no differences in Gadd45 gene expression in the VTA in C57 and DBA mice. Values are mean±SEMs. *p<0.05.
