β-asarone increases CREB, BDNF and Trk-B levels in the hippocampus of chronic unpredictable mild stress-treated rats. (A) Western blot analysis to examine CREB, BDNF and Trk-B protein levels. (B) CREB, (C) BDNF and (D) Trk-B mRNA levels in different groups were detected by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Data are expressed as the mean ± standard deviation. **P<0.01 vs. control group; #P<0.05 and ##P<0.01, vs. model group. β-asarone1/2/3, depression model rats treated with 12.5, 25 or 50 mg/kg β-asarone, respectively; FLU, fluoxetine-treated depression rats; CREB, cAMP response element binding protein; BDNF, brain-derived neurotrophic factor; Trk-B, tropomyosin receptor kinase B.
