Quantitative PCR validation of mitochondrial genes.

<p>A scatter plot with a line of best fit demonstrates that each gene in the PFC shows either increase or decrease in expression across age (qv <0.05). X-axis: Age (log 2 scale). Y-axis: Gene expression (log 2 scale). Subjects were color-coded as red: neonate (0–3 months), green: infant (3–12 months), blue: toddler (1–5 years), light blue: school age (6–13 years), pink: teenage (14–19 years), yellow: young adult (20–30 years), and grey: adult (31–50 years). A: <i>MAOB</i> (monoamine oxidase B), B: <i>NDUFV1</i> [NADH dehydrogenase (ubiquinone) flavoprotein 1, 51 kDa], C: <i>SLC25A14</i> (mitochondrial uncoupling protein 5), D: <i>TUBB3</i> (tubulin beta-3 chain).
