Figure 5

hSOD1 G93A rats show higher mRNA levels of the glutamate transporters GLAST and GLT-1 after PSNL. (A) mRNA expression of the glutamate transporter GLAST (normalized for GAPDH mRNA expression) is slightly increased in the ipsilateral dorsal horn of transgenic rats when compared to WT animals at 21 days after PSNL (#p< 0.05). (B) mRNA levels of the glutamate transporter GLT-1 after GAPDH normalization are higher in the ipsilateral dorsal horn of transgenic rats at 21 days after PSNL when compared to the sham control rats or to WT ligated rats ($$$ p< 0.001, # p< 0.05). Each group included 5 animals, ANOVA and Tukey post-hoc test for statistical analyses.
