Figure 3

Hippocampal expression of BDNF and TrkB mRNAs in rhesus macaque. (A) Gonadectomised monkeys did not have significantly different expression of BDNF or TrkB mRNAs compared to intact monkeys (100%) by qPCR (all p > 0.05). Graph shows gonadectomised group mRNA expression (mean ± SEM) as % of intact group expression. Gonadectomy did not alter the expression of (B) TrkB-TK+ mRNA or (C) TrkB-TK- mRNA in the dentate gyrus or hilus by in situ hybridisation (all p > 0.05) in intacts (black bars) and Gdx (grey bars).
