^aAll primers were designed using the Primer3 Input v.0.4.0. (http://bioinfo.ut.ee/primer3-0.4.0/).

GeneBank accession numbers are listed beside the primer name. Primer sequences are presented as 5’ to 3’ (forward) and 3’ to 5’ (reverse). Actb—β-actin; B2m—β-2-microglobulin; Hsp90ab1—Heat shock protein 90kDa Alpha Family Class B Member 1; Cck—cholecystokinin; Cxcl5 -chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 5; Igfbp5—insulin-like growth factor binding protein 5; Nos2—nitric oxide synthase 2; Pfkfb3—6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase 3; Tnfa—tumor necrosis factor α; Tph1—tryptophan hydroxylase 1.
