Figure 6. Comparison of the temporal expression of neurotrophic factor protein and mRNA after focal cerebral ischemia between the saline and BNG-1 treatments.
A: Western blot indicates that the BDNF level on the lesion cortex is significantly higher in the BNG-1 group than the saline group at 7 d, whereas no difference in NT-3 and NGF levels occurred at any time point. B: Reverse-transcription PCR indicates that the NT-3 mRNA level on the lesion cortex is significantly higher in the BNG-1 group than the saline group at 7 d, whereas no difference in BDNF and NGF levels occurred at any time point.
