Figure 7

Effects of various treatments on UCP-2 mRNA expression in ghrelin experiments. RT-PCR of UCP2 mRNA in the hippocampal preparations in the control group, I/R group (vehicle alone), or I/R group treated with ghrelin (G). A, B: Typical bands obtained for, respectively, β-actin and UCP-2 mRNA. C: Quantitative results expressed with respect to β-actin mRNA in each of the three groups. n = 6 animals. *** significantly different from the control and I/R groups, P < 0.001. # significantly different from the control group, P < 0.05. ANOVA + Tukey's test.
