(A) Serotonin (5HT), its metabolite (5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid, 5HIAA), and their ratio (5HIAA/5HT) measured in whole hypothalamus of animals from low-5HT and high-5HT sublines. Quantification was performed by HPLC-electrochemical method. Values are mean ± SEM, n = 6–7 rats/subline. (B) mRNA expression levels of genes for serotonin transporter (5HTT) and serotonin receptors 5HT1B and 5HT2C, measured in hypothalamus of animals from 5HT sublines by RT-qPCR analysis. Expression levels were normalized to mean of two reference genes (Actb and Gapdh). Results are shown as relative expression ratio between animals from high-5HT and low-5HT subline. Mean ± SEM, n = 9–10 rats/subline.
