Effects of the major components of Acanthopanax senticosus HARMS (chlorogenic acid [CHA], ( +)-syringaresinol di–O–β-D-glucoside [SYG], and a mixture of both [MIX]) on hippocampal brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) signaling. Analysis of hippocampal (A) BDNF, (B) phospho-tropomyosin receptor kinase B (pTrkB), and (C) phospho-cAMP response element-binding protein (pCREB) protein levels by western blotting. BDNF expression was normalized to β-actin expression, whereas pTrkB and pCREB levels were normalized to those of TrkB and CREB, respectively. Each value is presented as a ratio vs the control (Cont) group. Data are presented as means ± SE; n = 5; *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 vs Cont group (Dunnett’s t-test). Full-length blots are presented in Supplementary Fig. 1.
