Alterations in expression levels of GABAA receptor α1 subunit in dorsal and ventral hippocampal subregions following stress exposure and environmental enrichment. (A) Dorsal hippocampus. In the dDG, expression levels of GABAA α1 were increased in all groups compared to control rats. In the dCA1, α1 expression levels were increased only in J + A rats compared to control. (B) Ventral hippocampus. In the vDG, both J + A and J + A + EE rats showed higher expression levels of GABAA receptor α1 compared to control and J + EE + A rats. In the vCA1, while J + A rats showed higher α1 expression levels compared to all other groups, J + A + EE rats showed increased α1 expression compared to J + EE + A rats. All values are % density of mean control (mean ± SEM). Significant difference from control: *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001. Significant difference from J + EE + A: $p < 0.05, $$p < 0.01, $$$p < 0.001. Significant difference from J + A + EE: # p < 0.05. Sample blots are line blots from the same gel.
