Figure 6.

(a) CFos levels were significantly elevated in the piriform cortex of EW females compared to pair-fed controls only, at 1 day EW; cFos levels were also significantly elevated at both 1 and 3 days EW in the piriform cortex of EW OVX females, compared to pair-fed controls. Data are presented as means ± SEM counts per 15mm²; *significantly different from controls, P < 0.05, N = 4-8 animals per treatment condition. (b) BDNF levels were significantly elevated in the piriform cortex of both EW males and EW OVX animals compared to pair-fed controls at both 1 and 3 days EW; in EW intact females, BDNF levels were significantly elevated compared to pair-fed controls, at 1 day EW only. Data are presented as means ± SEM counts per 15mm²; *significantly different from controls, P < 0.001, N = 4-8 animals per treatment condition
