Long-term effects on hippocampal brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) protein expression and plasma corticosterone levels in rats exposed to SDS, SPS, or the combination of both stressors. (a) Western blotting analysis of hippocampal BDNF protein expression levels in adult rats. Data represent means (±SEM) from three replicate experiments and are normalized with β-actin and (b) representative Western blot bands of four samples. (c) Plasma corticosterone levels. Data represent means (±SEM) from three replicate experiments. *, p < 0.05 vs. CTRL-CTRL group; **, p < 0.01 vs. CTRL-CTRL group; &, p < 0.01 vs. SDS-CTRL group; &&, p < 0.01 vs. SDS-CTRL group. (N = 6–8 per group).
