From: The role of the 5-hydroxytryptamine pathway in reflux-induced esophageal mucosal injury in rats
Relative expression of serotonin reuptake transporter (SERT) mRNA levels in the esophageal tissue of rats with reflux esophagitis (RE) and NERD rats. The results are expressed as Δct. A significantly higher level of SERT mRNA was detected in samples from both RE rats and NERD rats compared to controls (*P < 0.01), while SERT transcript levels were significantly increased in the esophageal tissue of rats with RE compared to NERD rats (#P < 0.01).
