qPCR analysis of Slc17a6 expression in the male hippocampus. a Slc17a6 expression in the male hippocampus at P87. A total of 56 control mice and 52 ethanol-exposed (EtOH) mice from three independent cohorts were assayed. Basal (fold change of ~1 relative to controls) and high (>1.35-fold) Slc17a6 expressors in the ethanol-exposed group are boxed. b Hippocampal Slc17a6 expression in males at different ages. Controls (open circle) at P21 (n = 30 mice), P87 (n = 56 mice) and P120 (n = 11 mice) and ethanol-exposed mice (filled circle) at P21 (n = 36 mice), P87 (n = 52 mice), P120 (n = 18 mice) are shown. Data were normalised to Hprt1 and are plotted as mean and standard deviation. **P < 0.01 (t test, two-tailed)
