The highest dose of corticosterone increases DBH expression without modifying PNMT expression in the mouse brainstem. Real time PCR of (A) the adrenergic marker PNMT, (B) the noradrenergic marker DBH and (C) the dopaminergic marker (DAT) in the whole mouse brainstem at 24 h incubation with either vehicle (Veh, ethanol 0.66%) or CS (200 µM in ethanol 0.66%). (D) Western blot of DBH within the caudal part of the brainstem at 24 h incubation with either vehicle (Veh, ethanol 0.66%) or CS (200 µM in ethanol 0.66%). (E) Dot blots of DAT in the whole mouse brainstem at 24 h incubation with either vehicle (Veh, ethanol 0.66%) or CS (200 µM in ethanol 0.66%) support data shown at Western blotting. Values are expressed as the means±SEM. * p <0.05 compared with the vehicle.
