From: Enriched environment alleviates stress-induced dry-eye through the BDNF axis
Bdnf expressions decreases in response to stress and increases in response to housing in an enriched environment. (a) In the hippocampus (HC), Bdnf expression decreased in response to stress (n = 3; *P < 0.05 by Student’s t-test). (b) In the HC and Hypothalamus (HT), Bdnf expression increased in response to an enriched environment (EE; n = 4; **P < 0.01, *P < 0.05 by Student’s t-test). (c) EE housing restored the previously-observed stress-dependent decline in Bdnf expression (n = 3; **P < 0.01, *P < 0.05 by one-way ANOVA with post-hoc Tukey’s test).
