1 Estradiol increases Pet-1 and serotonin transporter mRNA in the midbrain raphe nuclei of ovariectomized rats. Estradiol solute carrier family 6 member 4 Rattus norvegicus
2 We conclude that a physiologically relevant regimen of estradiol treatment in OVX rats increases Pet-1 and 5-HTT mRNA levels in the midbrain raphe nuclei at a time when the anorexigenic effect of estradiol is apparent. Estradiol solute carrier family 6 member 4 Rattus norvegicus
3 Further studies are required to determine whether the increased expression of Pet-1 and 5-HTT mRNA plays a causal role in the anorexigenic effect of estradiol. Estradiol solute carrier family 6 member 4 Rattus norvegicus
