Effect of Prenatal Protein Malnutrition on Long-Term Potentiation and BDNF Protein Expression in the Rat Entorhinal Cortex after Neocortical and Hippocampal Tetanization

Table 1

Body and brain weights of normal and prenatally malnourished rats. Values are means ± SEM. 4^∘C rats in each group. No statistically significant differences (NS) were found when comparing body and brain weights of normal and malnourished groups of same ages (unpaired Student’s 4^∘C-test).
