NOP mRNA levels in different forebrain regions of restraint and control Wistar rats^{^a}

Brain region	Treatment	nCi/g (mean ± SEM)	N
CeA	Control	3.25 ± 0.51	8
	Restraint	5.22 ± 0.41^*	8
MeA	Control	8.63 ± 0.60	8
	Restraint	8.28 ± 0.51	8
BLA	Control	2.27 ± 0.19	8
	Restraint	3.66 ± 0.27^*	7

↵^aData are expressed as nCi/g (mean ± SEM); n = 7 or 8/group. Statistical analysis has been performed by Student's t test.
↵*p < 0.01, restraint versus control.
