reagent. Reverse transcription was conducted with 0.8 μg of total RNA using the PrimeScript one-step RT-PCR kit. Real-time PCR was carried out in a Real-Time PCR System (Stratagene/Agilent Technologies, Wilmington, DE, USA) using SYBR Premix Ex TaqII. The cycling conditions were as follows: 95 °C for 2 min and 40 cycles of 95 °C for 5 sec, 60 °C for 30 sec [11 (link)]. For each rat, the gene expression was normalized with that of the housekeeping gene Gapdh and expressed as 2-ΔΔCt. The following primers were used [13 (link), 14 (link)]: Gapdh region sense: AGACAGCCGCATCTTCTTGT and region antisense: TGATGGCAACAATGTCCACT; Osx region sense: GGCTTTTCTGTGGCAAGAGGTT and region antisense: CGCTGATGTTTGCTCAAGTGGTC; Alpl region sense: CCAGAAAGACACGTTGACTGTGG, and region antisense: TCTTGTCCGTGTCGCTCACCAT; Ocn region sense: AGCTCAACCCCAATTGTGAC and region antisense: TCCTGGAGAGTAGCCAAAGC; Opn region sense: GCTAAGCCTCAGCATCCTTG and region antisense: AAGCAAACCACTGCCAGTCT; Rage region sense: ACAGAAACCGGTGATGAAGG, and region antisense: ATTCAGCTCTGCACGTTCCCT.

Based on most similar protocols
As authors may omit details in methods from publication, our AI will look for missing critical information across the 5 most similar protocols.
About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
