Figures and Tables Legends
Table 1: Real Time PCR Primer Design.
Specific primers designed for rat gene sequence amplification were
selected for real-time PCR assay.
Table 2: pCPA effects in locomotor activity, Nonsocial activity
and Social activity.
Locomotor activity results are expressed as mean ± SEM of distanced
travel in centimeters. Nonsocial activity and social activity results
are expressed in mean ± SEM of time in seconds. Control (N=10) and pCPA
(N=10).
Table 3: pCPA effects in 5-HT, 5-HIAA and turnover
%5-HIAA/5-HT.
Content determination by HPLC in the OB 5-HT and 5-HIAA results are
expressed in ± SEM of pg/mg protein. Turnover 5-HIAA/5-HT results are
expressed in mean ± SEM of the 5-HIAA/5-HT pg/mg protein percentage
ratio. Control (N=10) and pCPA (N=10).
Figure 1: A- pCPA effects in Aggressive Behavior. Results are
expressed in the mean ± SEM of several events. B- pCPA effects in
Aggressive Latency. Results are expressed in mean ± SEM of latency in
time of the first aggressive behavior. Control (N=10) and pCPA (N=10).
***p <0.001; ****p <0.0001 for “t” Test.
Figure 2: A- pCPA effects in TPH2 gene expression in the OB.
Results are expressed in mean ± SEM of TPH2 relative expression units.
B- pCPA effects GABAAα1 mRNA expression in the OB. Results are expressed
in mean ± SEM of GABAAα1 relative expression units. Control (N=10) and
pCPA (N=10). *p <0.05 for t-Test.
