Effects of Traumatic Stress Induced in the Juvenile Period on the Expression of Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid Receptor Type A Subunits in Adult Rat Brain

Figure 3

Representative expression of the GABA_AR subunits in the PFC, CA3, and dentate gyrus (DG) of the hippocampus (×400). The neurons with positive γ2 subunit expression and the results of positive cell counting in the PFC and DG were shown in (A) and (a). The neurons with positive α2 subunit expression and the results of positive cell counting in the PFC and DG were shown in (B) and (b). The neurons with positive α5 subunit expression and the results of positive cell counting in the DG and CA3 subregions of the hippocampus were shown in (C) and (c). Values were expressed as mean ± SEM (, per group). versus C group; versus T group; versus T + D group.
