Figure 3

Effect of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) on serum insulin levels after cerebral ischemia.

Mice were intrahypothalamically injected with BDNF (40 ng) or artificial cerebrospinal fluid (aCSF) immediately after middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). Serum insulin levels were measured using an insulin enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit on day 1 after MCAO.

Data are expressed as mean ± SEM; n = 10 for aCSF-treated and BDNF-treated sham groups; n = 6 for aCSF-treated and n = 8 for BDNF-treated MCAO groups. aP < 0.01, vs. sham group using Student's t-test.
