Changes of hippocampal cytoplasm MCT1, MCT4 and MCT2 protein levels after 6 months of ketamine administration in different groups as revealed by Western blot. (A,B) Significant increase of MCT1 expression levels were seen in ket2 and ket1 group comparing with control group respectively (F(2,27) = 5.943, F(2,27) = 5.477, **p < 0.01, respectively). (C,D) Significant increase of MCT4 expression levels were seen in ket2 and ket1 group comparing with control group (F(2,27) = 3.607, *p < 0.05; F(2,27) = 5.882, **p < 0.01, respectively). (E,F) Significant increase of MCT2 expression levels were seen in ket2 and ket1 group comparing with control group respectively (F(2,27) = 5.742, **p < 0.01; saline n = 10, ket1 n = 10, ket2 n = 10).
