Figure 5. Comparison of Homer protein levels in adult (Y), AI and AU hippocampal formations.

Figure 5

A) Homer 3 protein level was increased in AU homogenates, while Homer 2 level was increased in AI hippocampal formation. B) Homer 1a and 1 b/c protein levels were considerably increased in AU PSD. The AI animals displayed reduced levels of Homer 3 in the PSD. C) All these alterations in the PSD were correlated to MWM day 5 latencies. D) Similar to mGluR5, Homer 1 b/c immunostaining was reduced in the AI hippocampus, mainly in the CA1 area. Western Blot values represent mean ± SEM of three separate experiments (N = 7) and the data are expressed as percentage of control (6-months adult rats), *p<0.05, **p<0.01, ***p<0.001.
