Levels of glutamate in the hippocampal NVU after the simulation of diabetes-related depression, as detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.

Data are shown as the mean ± SD (n = 4). **P < 0.01, vs. control group; #P < 0.05, vs. model group (G&P) (analysis of variance). Experiments were performed in triplicate. Dex: Dexamethasone, i.e., glucocorticoid receptor agonist; G&P: glucose and corticosterone, i.e., simulated diabetes-related depression conditions; RU-486: Mifepristone, i.e., glucocorticoid receptor blocker.
