The values obtained in age-matched littermates are reported for comparison. Results represent the mean (±SD) of the values determined for 3 individual mice per experimental group. Each mouse was assayed in triplicate. 2—ΔΔCt values were calculated using the mean value of the corresponding control as calibrator.
