BRAIN Journal-Suicide: Neurochemical Approaches-Figure 1. Representative bands of Western Blot showing the Protein levels of BDNF, Trk B, NGF and Trk A

<p>The molecular weights of BDNF, TrkB, NGF, TrkA and &beta;-actin were 14 kDa, 145 kDa,<br> 13.5 kDa, 140 kDa and 46 kDa, respectively. The expression levels of BDNF, NGF, TrkB, and<br> TrkA proteins were normalized against the &beta;-actin protein level, which was used as an internal<br> control. The results showed that the expression of BDNF, NGF, TrkB and TrkA in the hippocampus<br> decreased significantly in the suicide subjects when compared to the control subjects (P&lt;0.05,<br> Figure 1).</p>
