Fig. 3

Dopamine-related and synaptic protein levels were assessed via western blot analysis, and their expression was quantified using ImageJ. Relative density is defined as the ratio of respective protein density as a percentage of beta-actin density. A Representative bands of dopamine-related proteins and synaptic proteins in the 4 W mPFC. B Quantification of the relative density of dopamine-related proteins. C synaptic proteins in the 4 W mPFC. D representative band of dopamine-related protein and synaptic protein in the 10 W mPFC. E Quantification of the relative density of dopamine-related proteins and (F) synaptic proteins in the 10 W mPFC. G Representative bands of dopamine-related proteins and synaptic proteins in the 4 W STR. H Quantification of the relative density of dopamine-related proteins and (I) synaptic proteins in the 4 W STR. J Representative band of dopamine-related and synaptic proteins in the 10 W STR. K Quantification of the relative density of dopamine-related proteins and (L) synaptic proteins in the 10 W STR. The data are shown as mean ± standard error of the mean (SEM). For the purpose of statistical analyses, we conducted an unpaired t test; *p < 0.05, and **p < 0.01, compared with Veh-M.
