BDNF mRNA and protein levels changed after stress in BDNF+/Met and WT mice. A–D, Quantitative RT-PCR analysis of BDNF mRNA expression in the HPC (A), PFC (B), amygdala (C), and striatum (D) in BDNF+/Met and WT mice. E–H, ELISA analysis of BDNF protein levels in the HPC (E), PFC (F), amygdala (G), and striatum (H) in BDNF+/Met and WT mice. All values (n = 8–13 per group) are presented as mean ± SEM (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, compared with home cage same-genotype mice; #p < 0.05, ##p < 0.01, compared with stress WT mice, +p < 0.05, ++p < 0.01, compared with home cage WT mice).
