Test of role of sex in LiCl-induced and butyrate-enhanced acetylation of histones and c-Fos expression as measured by flurorescent immunohistochemistry.

Dose of NaB and LiCl and timing based on Figure 7 of [https://houptlab.org/papers/pdfs/Houpt065.pdf Kwon and Houpt, Brain Research, 1333 (2010) 36–47], PMID: 20346924 [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2871962/ PMCID: PMC2871962]

First Injection:
* 0.15 M LiCl (6 ml/kg)
* 0.15 M NaCl (6 ml/kg)

Second Injection:
* 0.3 M Na Butyrate = 3.3g/100ml water (12 ml/kg)
* 0.3 M NaCl = 18g/liter water (osmotic control) (12 ml/kg)

'''Surgery'''

4 groups for each sex: NaCl-NaCl, LiCl-NaCl, NaCl-NaB, LiCl-NaB

Female: DMU01-DMU08; Male: DMU09-DMU16

* NaCl-NaCl: DMU 1,5,9,13

* NaCl-NaB:
* LiCl-NaB: Female: DMU 4,6,8; Male: DMU 12,14,16




'''Injections and Perfusion '''

Rats weighed and given first injection (NaCl or LiCl). 10 minutes later, second injection (NaCl or NaB). 50 minutes later, overdosed with pentobarbital and transcardially perfused, first with 100 ml 0.15 M NaCl/NaNitrite/heparin, then 400ml of 4% PFA. Brain dissected, forebrain/brainstem blocked, post-fixed in 4% PFA for 1 h, then cryopotected in 30% sucrose for 2-3 days.



2022-2-26: DMU01-04,DMU9-12 perfused
2022-2-27: DMU05-8,DMU13-16 perfused
