Treadmill exercise promotes mature BDNF expression. (A) Representative photomicrographs of western blot analysis showing BDNF levels in the hippocampus of rats in the SC, SC+EX, 2VO and 2VO+EX groups. (B) The intensity of each band was densitometrically determined and normalized against β-actin. Results are presented as the mean ± standard error of the mean, n=4. **P<0.01, ***P<0.001 vs. SC; #P<0.05 vs. 2VO. SC, sham-surgery group; SC+EX, sham-surgery group subjected to treadmill exercise (15 m/min, 30 min/day for 4 weeks); 2VO, 2VO surgery group; 2VO+EX, 2VO-surgery group subjected to treadmill exercise (15 m/min, 30 min/day for 4 weeks); BDNF, brain-derived neurotrophic factor.
