Figure 5

The levels of total and mature BDNF in the hippocampal tissue of ovariectomized rats. The levels (Mean ± SEM, n = 7) of total and mature BDNF in the hippocampal tissue of ovariectomized rats fed on the control diet (white), or the control diet supplemented with 0.4 g/kg phytoestrogens (white spotted), 1.6 g/kg phytoestrogens (grey spotted), or 0.15 g/kg 17β-estradiol (dark grey). The mean values labelled with different letters differed significantly (p < 0.05).
