From: Acute stress alters transcript expression pattern and reduces processing of proBDNF to mature BDNF in Dicentrarchus labrax

Figure 8

Stress does not alter the ratio of pro/matBDNF in the seabass liver. A) A representative Western blot of proBDNF and matBDNF expression in the seabass liver. Alpha-tubulin (MW 55 KDa) is used for normalization. Human recombinant proBDNF and matBDNF shows reactivity of the anti-BDNF antibody. The bands corresponding to the seabass proBDNF and matBDNF are indicated on the right side. B) Mean percentage of proBDNF vs. total BDNF (totalBDNF = proBDNF+matBDNF) of 10 control and 10 stressed animals. Error bars represent SE. No significant difference between control and stressed animals was found. C) Scatter-plot showing the large overlap of the percentage of proBDNF on total BDNF in individual animals from the control and the stressed populations. The F values, obtained by One way Anova analysis, for proBDNF and mature BDNF were 4.154 and 0.055, respectively.
