Results (mean of 10 animals assayed in triplicate ± SD) were obtained as described in Section 2.12.1. Individual peptides are expressed as picomoles/L (plasma) or picomoles/mg protein (brain homogenates). Results statistically significantly different () are indicated with distinct superscript letters (values within the same column with different superscript letters are statistically significant between them). |
