Effects of CSD, adrenalectomy (A), treatment with desipramine or fluoxetine (B), and with corticosteroid receptor antagonists (C) on DBH proteins in the LC. The upper figures in A, B, and C show autoradiographs obtained by western blotting of DBH in the LC (n = 6–8/group). The lower graphs in A, B, and C show quantitative analysis of band densities. Values of DBH bands were normalized to those of β-actin probed on the same blot. *P < 0.05, compared with the control group; † P < 0.05, compared with the CSD group. See Figure 2 for abbreviations.
