Investigating the Interactive Effects of Sex Steroid Hormones and Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor during Adolescence on Hippocampal NMDA Receptor Expression

Figure 4

Protein expression of PSD-95 in the dorsal (a) and ventral (b) hippocampus of female sham ovariectomized + placebo (intact), ovariectomized + placebo (OVX), OVX + estradiol (E2), and OVX + progesterone- (P4-) treated mice. Protein expression of PSD-95 in the dorsal (c) and ventral (d) hippocampus of male sham castrated + placebo (intact), castrated + placebo (CAST), CAST + testosterone (T), and CAST + dihydrotestosterone- (DHT-) treated mice.  = 5–7 per treatment group. . Error bars represent the standard error of the mean (SEM). Bars with connecting horizontal lines show significant interactions (OVX × genotype).
