trkC expression profile. (A) There are two forms: full-length (140 kDa) and truncated (90–95 kDa). Ischemia increased both forms, while exercise increased both forms of protein in the bilateral hemispheres, particularly in the contralateral hemisphere (contra) in the ischemic brain. (B) The maximal expression of the two forms was observed at day 23 in the ischemia group. In the exercise group, the full-length form increased with time in the contralateral region, while the expression of the full-length decreased with time in the ipsilateral region. The truncated form was increased at postinfarct day 23 in the contralateral region. (C) (a) In the sham group, exercise itself increased immunoreactivities in both hemispheres, particularly in the vascular structures. (b) Immunoreactivity also increased in the ischemic region. (c) The immunoreactivities were restricted following exercise. (a'), (b'), and (c') are magnificent figures of (a), (b), and (c) each. ■ = 25 μm (^∗p < 0.05).
