Abstract:
Objective To study the mechanism of depression by explore the expressional differences of synapsin and dopamine transporter(DAT) mRNA of hippocampus in depression model rats. Methods Depression model were replicated by chronic stress. 20 rats were randomly divided into normal control group(n=10) and de-pression model group(n=10). Synapsin and DAT mRNA expressions in hippocampns were detected with RT-PCR technique. Result The values of synapsin and DAT mRNA in hippocampus of normal control group were 0.84±0.08 and 1.24±0.08, respectively, and 1.24±0.12 and 1.85±0.09 of model group, their t values were 8.87 and 16.50 (P<0.01). Conclusion The expressions of synapsin and DAT mRNA in hippecampus of depression model rats were increased significantly.
