Effect of intra-basolateral division of the amygdala (BL-d) recombinant adeno-associated viral vector (rAAV)-mediated Ghrelin receptor (Ghr-R) overexpression on expression of corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) and 5-HT1a, 5-HT2c, 5-HT5a, and 5-HT7 receptor mRNA in the BL-d in mice subjected to restraint stress. Ghr-R overexpression significantly decreased 5-HT1a expression (a) but had no significant effect on the expression of 5-HT2c, 5-HT5a, 5-HT7, or CRF (b-e) (n=11–12). Levels of mRNA were calculated relative to the mean CT value of the reference genes TATA-box binding protein (TBP) and tyrosine 3-monooxygenase/tryptophan 5-monooxygenase activation protein, zeta (YWHAZ); empty vector control levels were set to 100. Asterisk indicates statistical significance in unpaired Student’s t test (*P<.05).
