Resveratrol Increases Serum BDNF Concentrations and Reduces Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells Contractility via a NOS-3-Independent Mechanism

Figure 1

Serum BDNF concentration before resveratrol administration and after 2 weeks and 4 weeks of resveratrol pretreatment. “2nd week” and “4th week” bars represent values of serum BDNF after 2 and 4 weeks of resveratrol administration, respectively. Whiskers display ± standard deviations. Values presented in nanograms per milliliter. BDNF: serum concentration of brain-derived neurotrophic factor.
