The expression of the mitochondrial benzodiazepine receptor gene was assayed by a semi-quantitative non-radioactive reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay. The level of amplified mitochondrial benzodiazepine receptor mRNA was expressed as a ratio of either glyceraldehyde-3-ph...
