Effect of BDNF on aging-related gene expression changes in young and aged rats. Rattus norvegicus

Patterns of gene expression in the aged entorhinal cortex and hippocampus were examined one month after entorhinal administration of BDNF lentivirus. Whole-genome patterns of expression were examined using Affymetrix arrays four weeks after entorhinal injection of lentiviral-BDNF or GFP injection compared to control subjects. Keywords: Treatment effect Overall design: 27 Samples total: 4 biological replicates of Age rats BDNF treated, 3 biological replicates of Age rats eGFP treated, and 4 biological replicates each of Aged and Young rats controls for the Entorhinal cortex tissue. 2 biological replicates of Age rats BDNF treated, 2 biological replicates of Age rats eGFP treated, and 4 biological replicates each of Age and Young rats controls for the hippocampus tissue.
