Sex differences in aggression: Differential roles of 5-HT2, neuropeptide F and tachykinin
Fig 4
Effects of 5-HT2 siRNA injections on 5-HT2 expression.
Individual flies injected with 5-HT2 siRNA had significantly reduced 5-HT2 expression levels compared to vehicle injected siRNA (1.0 ± .09, n = 9 vs 0.68 ± 0.06, n = 6). 5-HT2 siRNA did not affect expression levels of the closely related 5-HT1A receptor. Values are normalized to vehicle injected individuals and presented as mean ± SEM. (Two-tailed, Student’s t-test; p < 0.05*, p < 0.01**, p < 0.001***).
