Figure 4. mRNA levels of HPA hormones and their receptors in the skin of AA mice in comparison to normal haired mice.
Gene expression levels of non-AA affected normal mice (n = 18) were set at ±1-fold, and gene expression changes in AA mice (n = 16) were expressed as the normalized “fold” changes in mRNA expression compared with those of normal mice. Statistical analysis for significant differences in expression between AA-affected mice and normal mice was performed on the data using ANOVA. *P<0.05 and **P<0.01.
