CCK-B receptor mRNA in the three divisions of the PVTh in control animals and in animals exposed to chronic, intermittent cold stress

ControlChronic stress
Anterior PVTh11.4  ± 2.09.3  ± 1.4
Midde PVTh16.2  ± 1.812.5  ± 0.9
Posterior PVTh16.5  ± 1.617.1  ± 3.7
  • Chronic stress did not change CCK-B receptor expression in any division of the PVTh. Values are mean optical density ± SEM.
