Figure 5. Effect of DEA on hippocampal neurite growth and synaptogenesis.

Figure 5

Effect of DEA on neurite growth (B), synaptogenesis (C) and synapsin expression (D and E). Representative photomicrographs are shown for MAP2 immunofluorescence in green, synapsin in red and DAPI in blue (A); scale bars, 30 µm. DEA at 0.1 µM promoted neurite development, synaptogenesis and synapsin expression evaluated by the total neurite length/neuron and Western blotting at 7 DIV (days in in vitro culture). Statistical analysis was performed by post-hoc Tukey’s HSD tests (different letters indicate significant difference at P < 0.05).
