Figure 6. Increased plasma corticosterone levels without marked induction of adrenal steroidogenesis by a light pulse.

Figure 6

(a) Schematic depiction of the light pulse experimental protocol. (b and c) Adrenal StAR mRNA (b; n = 5–9) and protein (c; n = 4) expression levels induced by photic stimulation. (d) Similar increases in plasma corticosterone levels by light stimuli in WT and TG mice (n = 12–15; **p < 0.01 vs. basal levels of the same genotype). (e) Adrenal corticosterone contents in response to the photic stimulus (n = 7–10).
