Comparison of miR-34a and ADRA2A mRNA expression levels in Sprague-Dawley rats in response to forced swim stress exposure in the following tissues: Adrenal Gland (AG), Peripheral Nerve (PN), and Dorsal Root Ganglion (DRG). RNA was isolated from rat tissues at baseline (no stress exposure) and from rat tissues after exposure to 30 minutes of repeated forced swim stress on three consecutive days. RT-qPCR was used for miR-34a and ADRA2A mRNA quantification. Fold change was calculated from a minimum of three independent experiments performed in duplicate. Error bars represent standard deviations.
