Nonsignificant changes in LT mRNA expression
| Marker | Difference ± SE, AU | P Value |
|---|---|---|
| AGT | 0.4192 ± 0.2089 | 0.062 |
| ACE1 | 1.220 ± 0.6468 | 0.0774 |
| AT1 | 0.6603 ± 0.3133 | 0.0512 |
| MR | 0.4355 ± 0.2600 | 0.1134 |
| NOX2 | 0.4832 ± 0.2518 | 0.073 |
| IL-1β | 0.3738 ± 0.2376 | 0.1352 |
mRNA expression that was nonsignificantly altered in the lamina terminalis (LT). Difference in mRNA expression (amphetamine – saline rats) is displayed in arbitrary units (AU) along with P values. Many markers of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system were not significantly elevated by amphetamine pretreatment. ACE1, angiotensin-converting enzyme 1; AGT, angiotensinogen; AT1, angiotensin II receptor type 1; IL-1β, interleukin-1β; MR, mineralocorticoid receptor; NOX2, NADPH oxidase 2.
