Effects of Voluntary Running in the Female Mice Lateral Septum on BDNF and Corticotropin-Releasing Factor Receptor 2
Figure 1
The figure represents the gene expression employed by quantitative real-time PCR (Q-RT-PCR), of brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) (a), corticotrophin-releasing factor receptor 2 (b) in the lateral septum (LS), and corticotrophin releasing factor (CRF) in the central amygdala (CeA) following three weeks voluntary exercise (c). Q-RT-PCR of the full-length BDNF demonstrated a significant, 3-fold upregulation in the LS after three weeks of running compared to controls (). No significant changes in CRFR2 (LS) or CRF (CeA) gene expression were observed.
