Sex difference in forebrain gene expressions after exposure to synthesized pheromone component in sea lamprey. Exposure to 10-11 M 3kPZS increased Jun mRNA (2 h, p < 0.05) but decreased lGnRH-III mRNA concentrations (8 h, 48 h, p < 0.05) in the forebrain of immature females (A-C). Exposure to 3kPZS increased GAP49, 50, 58, lGnRH-III, Jun and JNK mRNA concentrations in the forebrain of immature males (D-E). The following data points are statistically different from 0 h control (p < 0.05). D. GAP49: 8 h, 24 h, and 48 h; GAP58: 4 h, 8 h, 24 h & 48 h; GAP50: 24 h; lGnRH-III: 2 4 h & 48 h; Jun: 24 h & 48 h; JNK: 24 h & 48 h. E. GAP49: 8 h & 24 h; GAP58: 8 h & 24 h; GAP50: 8 h, 24 h & 48 h; lGnRH-III: 8 h & 24 h; Jun: 8 h & 24 h; JNK: 8 h & 24 h. F. GAP49: 4 h & 48 h; GAP58: 4 h; lGnRH-III: 4 h; Jun: 48 h.
