Dehydroepiandrosterone Stimulates Nerve Growth Factor and Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor in Cortical Neurons
Figure 1
Mean basal levels of DHEA of 15–30–45-day old Wistar rats (a). Mean basal levels of NGF, BDNF, NT-3, and NT-4 neurotrophins in the brain cortex of 30-day old Wistar rats and Mean levels of neurotrophins after DHEA treatment in the brain cortex of Wistar rats. A comparison between basal levels of NGF, BDNF, NT-3, and NT-4 neurotrophines before and after DHEA treatment in the brain cortex of Wistar rats. The levels of NGF, BDNF, NT-3, and NT-4 neurotrophines were measured using ELISA (b). In each part, the data are obtained from nine animals.
