Photoperiod and stress regulation of corticosteroid receptor, brain-derived neurotrophic factor, and glucose transporter GLUT3 mRNA in the hippocampus of male Siberian hamsters ( Phodopus sungorus )

Highlights ► Restraint reduces hippocampal GR, MR, and BDNF mRNA expression in long- and short-day hamsters. ► Photoperiod alters GR expression in the hippocampus. ► GLUT3 expression is not altered by photoperiod or acute restraint. ► MR, BDNF, and GLUT3 mRNA levels are correlated across photoperiod...

Description
Summary:Highlights ► Restraint reduces hippocampal GR, MR, and BDNF mRNA expression in long- and short-day hamsters. ► Photoperiod alters GR expression in the hippocampus. ► GLUT3 expression is not altered by photoperiod or acute restraint. ► MR, BDNF, and GLUT3 mRNA levels are correlated across photoperiod and stress.
