Figure 5 Brain-derived neurotrophic factor expression in lumbar-sacral spinal cord is regulated by estrogen. A: Plasma estrogen levels in cycling females that received a bolus estradiol (E2) infusion on day 1; B: Lumbar-sacral spinal cord brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) mRNA following bolus estrogen infusion; C: Lumbar-sacral spinal cord BDNF protein following bolus estrogen infusion. (n = 8 rats in each group, two-way ANOVA, aP < 0.05 vs vehicle group).
