The Kampo Medicine Yokukansan Decreases MicroRNA-18 Expression and Recovers Glucocorticoid Receptors Protein Expression in the Hypothalamus of Stressed Mice

Figure 3

Real-time PCR analysis of miR-18 (a) and miR-124a (b) expression in the hippocampus and hypothalamus after acute stress exposure. Results are the means ± SEMs of at least four independent experiments. Cont: control mice; Stress (YKS−): acute stress-exposed mice; Stress (YKS+): 1.0 g/kg YKS pretreatment and stress-exposed mice; , Student’s t-test.
