Figure 5. Chronic E2 treatment rescues cerebrovascular deficits in male M5R−/− mice.

Figure 5

(A) A schematic representation schedule of E2 tablet implantation and MRA monitoring. (B) Chronic E2 treatment completely rescues cerebrovascular deficits in 3.5 month-old male M5R−/− mice. After MRA, an E2 tablet (0.1 mg / 21 days release) was implanted into the neck of each mouse, followed by MRA testing 3 weeks after the start of E2 administration. (C) The increased NHE1 expression levels in male M5R−/− mice. Na+/H+ exchanger isoform 1 (NHE1)is indicated by Red color. The GFAP is indicated by Green color. The site where the choroid plexus between fimbria of hippocampus and ventricle is indicated by arrows. Scale bar; 100 µm.
