Effects of t-PA, proBDNF, or NS administered by ICV injection on depression-like behavior in PSD models rats. Histograms show (A) body weight (feeding behavior), (B) sucrose preference, (C) rearing activity, and (D) locomotor activity in rats injected with NS, t-PA, or proBDNF as indicated. N=8 rats/group. * P<0.05 versus NS-treated rats; #
P<0.05 versus t-PA-treated rats. BDNF – brain-derived neurotrophic factor; ICV – intracerebroventricular; NS – normal saline; PSD – poststroke depression; t-PA – tissue plasminogen activator.
