Figure Lengend Snippet: The effects of EE and RJ treatment on the hippocampal BDNF expression. The BDNF levels in the stressed group were significantly decreased than in the control group. EE and RJ treatment increased BDNF levels in the stressed rats. *, **, and *** represent p < 0.05, p < 0.01, and p < 0.001 v.s. the Non-stressed control group, respectively; ^^ and ^^^ represent p < 0.01 and p < 0.001 v.s. the Non-treatment stressed group, respectively.
Article Snippet: The evaluation of serum corticosterone levels and hippocampal BDNF levels was conducted using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) with a commercially available ELISA kit (E20160505043, Hangzhou Eastbiopharm Co. Ltd., Zhejiang Province, China) and rat BDNF ELISA kits from Boster Biological Technology Co. with a sensitivity limit of 4 pg/ml following the instructions provided by the manufacturer.
