Figure 5

Protein levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and tropomyosin receptor kinase B (TrkB) in the mPFC of mice. Chronic stress reduces the expressions of (a), (c) BDNF and (b), (d) TrkB, and such effects are rescued by the L. plantarum WLPL04 treatment. Three independent experiments were conducted in each sample group.
