Treatment | VEGF protein levels pg/mg |
---|---|
CTR | 12.6 ± 0.7 |
CUS | 12.0 ± 0.5 |
CUS+FLX | 15.4 ± 0.9** |
CUS+FLX+WAY100635 | 13.2 ± 0.6# |
Fluoxetine and WAY100635 were administrated as described in the ‘Materials and Methods’ and levels of hippocampal VEGF were determined by ELISA. Results are expressed as mean±SEM pg VEGF/mg total protein. CTR, control; CUS, chronic unpredictable stress; FLX, fluoxetine. n= 6 per group.
<0.01 compared with CUS
<0.05 compared with CUS + FLX (ANOVA and Fisher’s post hoc test).
