Methods 2.1 Animals Experiments were performed on adult (8C12 weeks old) male 129S6/SvEv mice. Animals were purchased from Taconic (Hudson, NY), and were housed at 12 h light/dark cycle (lights on, 8:00 to 20:00) at 23C with food and water and by LSD (0.24 mg/kg) was measured one day after the last injection with chronic “type”:”entrez-nucleotide”,”attrs”:”text”:”LY341495″,”term_id”:”1257705759″,”term_text”:”LY341495″LY341495. Reverse transcription quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR) experiments were performed as previously reported [18]. See [13] for primer sequences. 2.5. Statistical analysis All graphs and statistical analyses were generated using GraphPad Prism 5.0b. Radioligand binding data were analyzed using a nonlinear curve fit. An extra-sum-of-squares (F-test) was used to determine statistical differences for simultaneous analyses of binding saturation curves. Differences in the maximum number of binding sites (Bmax) were assessed by unpaired Students test. Statistical significance of experiments involving three or more groups was assessed by one-way ANOVA followed by Bonferronis test. Statistical significance of experiments involving two groups was assessed by Students = 0.05. All data are presented as mean SEM. 3. Results 3.1.

Methods 2.1 Animals Experiments were performed on adult (8C12 weeks old) male 129S6/SvEv mice. Animals were purchased from Taconic (Hudson, NY), and were housed at 12 h light/dark cycle (lights on, 8:00 to 20:00) at 23C with water and food and by LSD (0.24 mg/kg) was measured 1 day following the last injection with chronic “type”:”entrez-nucleotide”,”attrs”:”text”:”LY341495″,”term_id”:”1257705759″,”term_text”:”LY341495″LY341495. Reverse transcription quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR) experiments were performed as previously reported [18]. See [13] for primer sequences. 2.5. Statistical analysis All graphs and statistical analyses were generated using GraphPad Prism 5.0b. Radioligand binding data were analyzed utilizing a non-linear curve fit. An extra-sum-of-squares (F-test) was utilized to determine statistical differences for simultaneous analyses of binding saturation curves. Differences in the utmost variety of binding sites (Bmax) were assessed by unpaired Students test. Statistical need for experiments involving three or even more groups was assessed by one-way ANOVA accompanied by Bonferronis test. Statistical need for experiments involving two groups was assessed by Students = 0.05. All data are presented as mean SEM. 3. Results 3.1.
