Effects of social defeat stress on hippocampal dopamine- and GluA2-related function in adolescent male C57BL/6 mice. (a) Social defeat stress increased cytosolic tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), when compared to controls (∗∗p < 0.01). (b) Similarly, social defeat stress increased cytosolic dopamine transporter (DAT) levels, when compared to controls (∗p < 0.05). (c) No differences in synaptic dopamine-1 receptors (D1) were observed between the groups (p > 0.05). (d) Conversely, social defeat stress reduced synaptic GluA2 when compared to controls (∗p < 0.05). (e–f) No differences in synaptic PKMζ or PKCζ were evident following social defeat stress (p > 0.05). Arbitrary units (AU). Data are presented as ratio of total protein normalized to GAPDH (mean + SEM).
