Exercise training does not affect brain levels of BDNF and FNDC5, markers of autophagy, or phosphorylation of mTOR. Expression levels of BDNF, FNDC5, LC3-II, phosphorylated mTOR (P-mTOR) were assessed by Western blotting. P-mTOR levels were normalized to total mTOR levels. Protein levels of BDNF (A,B), FNDC5 (C,D), LC3-II (E,F), and P-mTOR (G,H) were not significantly different after exercise training in the cortex or striatum of old (A,C,E,G) or young (B,D,F,H) mice. Data are presented as means ± SD. YC, N=8; YT, N=8; OC, N=7; OT, N=7.
