Figure 8.

Effects of AEO on the expression of corticotropin releasing factor (CRF) and CRF receptor (CRFR). CRF and CRFR gene transcription were assessed by RT-PCR in (A) cerebral cortex and (B) hippocampus, and CRFR protein expression was detected by Wes in the (C) cerebral cortex and (D) hippocampus of mice. (E) The quantitative result of relative expression was showed in fold. Each value represents mean ± SEM, n = 3 with three independent biological replicates. ^## p < 0.01 vs. the naive group, * p < 0.05 and ** p < 0.01 vs. the stressed group.
