Figure 4From: Curcumin modulates dopaminergic receptor, CREB and phospholipase c gene expression in the cerebral cortex and cerebellum of streptozotocin induced diabetic ratsReal Time PCR amplification of dopamine D2 mRNA from the cerebellum of control and experimental rats. Values are mean ± S.D of 4-6 separate experiments. Each group consist of 6-8 rats Relative Quantification values and standard deviations are shown in the table. The relative ratios of mRNA levels were calculated using the ΔΔCT method normalized with β-actin CT value as the internal control and Control CT value as the calibrator. a p < 0.001 when compared with control b p < 0.01 when compared with diabetic group c p < 0.001 when compared with diabetic group. D+I - Insulin treated diabetic group. D+C- Curcumin treated diabetic group.Back to article page
