Signal Transduction in Astrocytes during Chronic or Acute Treatment with Drugs (SSRIs, Antibipolar Drugs, GABA-ergic Drugs, and Benzodiazepines) Ameliorating Mood Disorders

Figure 12

Expression of mRNA for the Na⁺, K⁺-ATPase subunits α1, α2, and α3, expressed as ratios between mRNA of the subtype gene and TATA-binding protein (TBP) used as a housekeeping gene in astrocytes and neurons of mice treated for 14 days with carbamazepine (25 mg/kg per day). As in Figures 3 and 8(b), the astrocytes had been stained with GFP, and the neurons with YPHF in transgenic animals, and they were separated after cell dissociation by means of the different fluorescent signals, from Li et al. [120].
