Quantification of GR mRNA hybridization signal in different structures of the CNS and pituitary of adult rhesus monkeys

Region	(OD) Mean  ± SEM
PIT	57.00  ± 7.15
CBL	44.22  ± 5.01
PVN	27.39  ± 5.76
Neocortex	20.99  ± 5.07
DG	12.70  ± 2.72
CA1	13.62  ± 4.85
CA2	11.44  ± 0.00
CA3	6.15  ± 2.11

Data represent specific mean gray levels obtained by subtraction of the OD units generated with the sense radiolabeled cRNA from those obtained with the antisense probe in adjacent sections and after background subtraction. Mean gray levels expressed as optical (OD) units. Results derived from in situ hybridization histochemistry; three or four sections quantified per animal;n = 4 animals, (two males and two females).
