Rearing condition affects BDNF and NGF plasma levels in rhesus macaques. A. Effects of rearing condition on BDNF plasma levels in 14-, 30- and 60-day-old subjects (MR: 9 females and 9 males; PR: 8 females and 6 males). BDNF levels were higher in females compared to males starting on PND 30 (# p < 0.05). On PND 60 also a rearing effect was found, peer-rearing increasing levels of BDNF in females only (PR females vs MR females * p <0.05). B. Effects of rearing condition on NGF plasma levels in 14-, 30- and 60-day-old subjects (MR: 5 females and 7 males; PR: 4 females and 4 males). Levels of NGF where higher in PR compared to MR males only on PND 60 (* p <0.05). MR = Mother-reared; PR = Peer-only reared. All data expressed as means (+SEM); other abbreviations as in Figure 1.
