Expression of Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in mice cerebral cortex. A. Brain tissue from Cyp1b1 deficient mice fed with NC had higher BDNF mRNA expression. B. Representative Western blots of BDNF, and quantified data show that BDNF protein levels are higher in KO mice fed with NC than in other groups. C and D. Cyp1b1 deficient mice had higher levels of activity-regulated cytoskeletal protein (ARC) and Reelin when compared with their counterparts. ^*Significantly different from WT-NC, ^#Significantly different from WT-HFD, P<0.05.
