Quantitative RT-PCR validation of calcium-channel-related and apoptosis-related genes.

The expression levels of IP3R1, BAX and Bcl-2 were significantly higher (P < 0.05) in cortisol-treated group than the control group. SERCA1 and Caspase-3 were significantly increased (P < 0.01) in the group fed cortisol.
