We identified 258 and 228 DEGs, respectively, with the fold change > 1.5 and Padj < 0.05 at 22.5 h after the first administration of Semax and ACTH(6-9)PGP.
1 context sentence(design, population, supporting numbers)
Here, we used high-throughput RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the brain frontal cortex of rat receiving intraperitoneal administration of ACTH-like peptides ACTH(4-7)PGP (Semax) and ACTH(6-9)PGP, or saline.
