Messenger RNA expression of neurotrophic factors.

DPC-S DPC-FS P
BDNF 1.0 ± 0.1 1.2 ± 0.2 0.23
NT-3 1.0 ± 0.0 0.3 ± 0.0 <0.001
GDNF 1.0 ± 0.0 0.9 ± 0.1 0.08
VEGF 1.0 ± 0.0 3.8 ± 0.1 <0.001

The ratio of mRNA expression in DPC-S for each neurotrophic factor was averaged, and the mean value was standardized to 1.0 for comparison with DPC-FS. The values are expressed as the mean ± SE. Significant differences between the two groups were determined by Student’s t-test (n = 6).
