PPAR-γ expression in rat astrocytes and microglia.

<p>(A and C) Gene expression was studied by RT-qPCR as described in <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0057313#s2" target="_blank">Materials and Methods</a>. No significant change in PPAR-γ mRNA levels was observed after 24 h of incubation with NDP-α-MSH in both cell types. (B and D) Protein expression of PPAR-γ was assessed by western blot after 24 h of treatment. NDP-α-MSH induced the expression of PPAR-γ protein in both cell types. Data were analyzed by one sample t Test and are expressed as mean ± SEM. *<i>p</i><0.05 vs. control group.
