Expression Levels of the GABAA Subunit Genes in B6 and C3 Mice

Region of brain Mouse strain Expression level, mean ± se (n = 6)
α1 subunit α3 subunit β2 subunit
Frontal cortex B6 0.63 ± 0.06 0.87 ± 0.12 0.99 ± 0.20
C3 0.73 ± 0.04 1.03 ± 0.12 1.30 ± 0.36
Hippocampus B6 0.18 ± 0.05 0.08 ± 0.03 0.27 ± 0.04
C3 0.20 ± 0.02 0.11 ± 0.03 0.27 ± 0.09
  • The expression level of each gene is normalized to that of the GAPDH gene.

  • Significantly different (P < 0.05) between B6 and C3 strains by Student's t-test.
