Effect of chronic ALC exposure on basal dynorphin (DYN) expression in medial basal hypothalamus (MBH) of prepubertal female rats (A) Representative Western immunoblot of DYN and β-actin proteins in the MBH isolated from 29 day-old control (CON; lanes 1-3) and ALC-treated (ALC; lanes 4-6) animals. (B) Densitometric quantitation of all of the bands from two blots assessing DYN protein expression in the MBH. These data were normalized to the internal control, β -actin protein, and the densitometric units represent the DYN/β-actin ratio. Note that DYN protein levels increased in the MBH of the ALC-treated animals. The respective bars illustrate the mean (±SEM) of an N of 6 in each group. *p<0.05 versus CON.
