title: Data from quantitative real-time PCR of corticotropin-releasing hormone and glucocorticoid receptor in the hippocampus and hypothalamus of rats subjected to midline fluid percussion injury or control sham surgery.

description: These files contain all data from quantitative real-time PCR of
 corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) and glucocorticoid receptor (GR)
 measured in the hippocampus and hypothalamus of male and female rats. Rats
 were randomly assigned to a treatment group before the initiation of the
 study. Rats received a control sham surgery or were subjected
 to midline fluid percussion injury to induce a diffuse traumatic
 brain injury. Tissue biopsies were collected at 7 days post-injury and
 analyzed via quantitative real-time PCR.
