Figure 4. High-intensity exercise increases transcript-specific Bdnf expression.
(A) Acute exercise significantly affects Bdnf IV mRNA levels in hippocampus. High-intensity exercise resulted in greater Bdnf IV mRNA relative to controls. (B) No significant effect of acute exercise on total Bdnf mRNA expression. Target mRNA levels are presented as 2−ΔΔCt relative to the geometric mean of ActB and Gapdh. Data depicted as average +/− SEM. * indicates p<0.05 versus control.
