Prefrontal cortex BDNF & 5HT₃ receptor mRNA expression in stressed or non-stressed rats subjected to SP, EX, EE and combined treatment. BDNF mRNA expression in the restraint group was significantly lower than control group (A). Stressed rats showed increased in 5HT₃ receptor mRNA expression than control group (B). Data are expressed as the mean±S.E.M. In (A and B) ^#p = 0.01; ^###p = 0.0001 than the corresponding control group; p<0.001; ^†p = 0.01, ^††p = 0.0001, ^†††p = 0.0001 than the stressed group; **p = 0.001 than the control group.

Abbreviations: SP, Spirulina platensis; EX, voluntary exercise; EE, enriched environment.
