Diurnal gene expression of Rora, Reverba, and Reverbb in the adrenal gland. Diurnal expression patterns of Rora, Reverva, and Reverbb in the adrenal gland of SHR (solid line) and WKY (dashed line) rats. The horizontal bar indicates the time course: black indicates the 12 h dark period from ZT12 (2000 h) to ZT0 (0800 h); white indicates the 12 h light period from ZT0 (0800 h) to ZT12 (2000 h). The vertical axis indicates the relative gene expression levels normalized to Gapdh. The data represent the means ± standard error of the mean. ZT, Zeitgeber time. *P < 0.05
