ELISA analysis of BDNF levels in hypo-Con and hypo-IRAS rats. Statistical analysis revealed that plasma, hippocampal and amygdalar BDNF levels are reduced in hypo-IRAS rats compared to hypo-Con rats. Data expressed as a percentage of BDNF levels in hypo-Con rats. Mean hypo-Con levels: plasma = 460.6 ± 69.3 pg/ml; hippocampus = 273.7 ± 24.5 pg/mg protein; amygdala = 111.6 ± 11.9 pg/mg protein [* = p<0.05 compared to hypo-Con rats; data based upon at least 6 rats/group]
