Central serotonin turnover is impacted similarly by peripheral LPS
treatment between BDNF heterozygous and control mice. Whole brain tissues
collected 24h post injections were analyzed for serotonin metabolites to
determine the impact of peripheral inflammation. Panels represent brain
concentrations (μM) of (A) serotonin, (B) 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid
(5-HIAA) and (C) 5-HIAA/serotonin ratio. Data represent sample means ±
SEM. n = 5–8 samples/group.
* = main effect (treatment or genotype)
