Figure Lengend Snippet: Blunted mGlu3 receptor-mediated inhibition of cAMP formation in the thalamus and somatosensory cortex of WAG/Rij rats. cAMP formation in slices prepared from the thalamus and somatosensory cortex of WAG/Rij and control rats of 25/27 days and 6/7 months of age. Values are means ± S.E.M. (n=4-6). Statistical significance vs. Vehicle (*) or vs. Forskolin (#) (Two-Way ANOVA + Fisher's LSD test). C’ Twenty-five/twenty-seven days old rats, Somatosensory cortex: genotype, p =0,048, F (1,18) =4,517; treatment, p <0,001, F (2,18) =38,12; genotype x treatment, p =0,015, F (2,18) =5,304; Thalamus: genotype, p =0,292, F (1,18) =1,180; treatment, p <0,001, F (2,18) =14,746; genotype x treatment, p =0,936, F (2,18) =0,0660. C” Six/seven months old rats, Somatosensory cortex: genotype, p =0,008, F (1,29) =8,072; treatment, p <0,001, F (2,29) =41,18; genotype x treatment, p =0,041, F (2,29) =3,588; Thalamus: genotype, p =0,127, F (1,29) =2,463; treatment, p <0,001, F (2,29) =15,669; genotype x treatment, p =0,643, F (2,29) =0,449).
Article Snippet: Western blot analysis was performed as described before [ , ] using rabbit polyclonal antibodies for mGlu3 (AGC-012, Alomone Labs, 1:1000), GAT-1 (AB1570W, Millipore, 1:1000), GLAST (PA5-80012, ThermoFisher Scientific, 1:1000), GLT-1 (PA5-17099 ThermoFisher Scientific, 1:1000) or mouse monoclonal for GAPDH (sc-47724, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, 1:1000).
