Figure 8.
The relative gene expression in the VTA of Ghr-RVTA mice (+) and Ghr-R knockout (KO) control mice (−) of dopaminergic markers measured by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) analysis of tissue samples obtained via laser capture microdissection. D2R: dopamine receptor D2; DAT: dopamine transporter; TH: tyrosine hydroxylase. n = 7–8. p-value TH = 0.067; p-value DAT = 0.159; p-value D2R = 0.159. All data are expressed as mean ± SEM.
