Fig. 4From: Modulation of striatal glutamatergic, dopaminergic and cholinergic neurotransmission pathways concomitant with motor disturbance in rats with kaolin-induced hydrocephalusExpression of striatal glutamatergic postsynaptic density protein and receptor subunits. A–D are the data of PSD95, GluR2/3, GluR1, and NR1 respectively. Representative immunoblots are displayed at the top of each panel with the histograms of corresponding analyses at the bottom. The expression of the GAPDH is the internal gel-loading control. The expression of each protein was normalized to that of the GAPDH and presented as a ratio to that of the age-matched sham-operated control animals. Con, control; Hydro, hydrocephalus; PSD95, postsynaptic density protein 95; GluR2/3 and GluR1, AMPA glutamate receptor subunit 2/3 and 1; NR1, NMDA receptor subunit 1; GAPDH, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. *P < 0.05 between the marked and the corresponding age-matched control, n = 4–11 rats per groupBack to article page
