Expression of the Bdnf transcripts. The Bdnf expression was mainly decreased by MeHg and increased by TK+ background in the hippocampus, and dependent on factors’ interaction in the prefrontal cortex. Two-way ANOVA analysis: TK × MeHg significant interaction of the factors TK and MeHg. Post hoc Tukey’s group comparisons: * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01 MeHg vs. respective Ctrl group; ^# P < 0.05, ^## P < 0.01 TK+ vs. respective WT group. N = 7–9 Ctrl WT, 8–11 MeHg WT, 9 Ctrl TK+ and 6–7 MeHg TK+ mice.
