rTMS elevates concentration of dopamine and gene expression of DR4 in AD mouse model. The concentrations of neurotransmitters were measured after rTMS from tissue homogenates lysate of the hippocampus (a) Dopamine, (b) Acetylcholine, (c) Serotonin, and (d) Epinephrine. rTMS regulated dopaminergic signalling pathway through DR4. The expression of DR4 was measured by RT-PCR in (e) Hippocampus and (f) Cortex (g) Histograms show densitometry analysis of DR4 RT-PCR. Each group n = 3, mean ± SEM.*Ps < 0.05, # = 0.069. + Aβ42 oligomer injected via ICV, rTMS repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, DR4 Dopamine receptor 4, AD Alzheimer’s Disease, RT-PCR reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, Aβ42 amyloid beta 42 oligomer, None none treatment, High high frequency rTMS treated, Low low frequency rTMS treated, N.S. not significant.
