Likewise, the intra-hippocampal injection of the Lv-TSPO reversed the decreased Allo level in the hippocampus in post-foot-shock mice, further suggesting that the anti-PTSD-like effects of Lv-TSPO could be mediated by the subsequent synthesis of Allo in hippocampus DG. The gene discussed is TSPO; the disease is post-traumatic stress disorder.
