Data represent the mean±S.E.M. values expressed in ROD units of the mRNA levels obtained from seven to 10 animal (measurements are derived from at least six sections per animal). Statistically significant differences between CA1 region of DH and VH are indicated as * P<0.05 for the mRNA ratio of DH vs. VH (ANOVA followed by Scheffe post hoc test). Numbers in parentheses indicate the percentage of differences.
