Fig. 2: The protein levels of proBDNF, p75NTR, sortilin and TrkB in lymphocytes of patients with alcohol dependence and healthy controls

From: ProBDNF/p75NTR/sortilin pathway is activated in peripheral blood of patients with alcohol dependence

Fig. 2

The lymphocytes protein levels of proBDNF (a) and p75NTR (b) were increased, but not the protein levels of sortilin (c). The lymphocytes protein level of TrkB (d) was decreased in the alcohol dependence group (n = 27) compared to the controls (n = 45). Western blots were performed to measure the protein level of each sample, β-tubulin was measured as control. All the data were presented in mean ± SEM and analysed by Student’s t-test (*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01)
