SB203580 retained the motor function of Atm−/− mice. (A): Motor coordination of 2-month-old Atm+/+ and Atm−/− mice was analyzed by measuring the time before falling off the rotating beam at 25 rpm with three trials. Values represent means ± SD of time on the rotating rod (Atm+/+, n = 4; Atm−/−, n = 4; three independent tests; ***, p < .001). The body weights of 2-month-old Atm+/+ and Atm−/− mice were also measured. Values represent means ± SD of body weights (Atm+/+, n = 4; Atm−/−, n = 4; three independent tests; *, p < .05). (B): After treatment with antioxidant NAC and MSL, motor coordination of adult (postnatal day 90 [P90]) Atm+/+, Atm−/−, Atm−/−+NAC, and Atm−/−+MSL mice were analyzed. Values represent means ± SD of time on the rotating beam (n = 6 per group; three independent tests; **, p < .01, *, p < .05). (C): After treatment, the motor coordination of adult (P90) Atm+/+, Atm−/−, and Atm−/−+SB203580 (SB) mice was assessed by measuring the time before falling off the rotating beam at 25 rpm with three trials. Values represent means ± SD of time on the rotating beam (Atm+/+, n = 10; Atm−/−, n = 9; Atm−/−+SB, n = 10; three independent tests; ***, p < .001, **, p < .01). (D): After treatment, the body weights of adult (P90) Atm+/+, Atm−/−, and Atm−/−+SB mice were measured. Values represent means ± SD of body weights (Atm+/+, n = 10; Atm−/−, n = 9; Atm−/−+SB, n = 10; three independent tests; ***, p < .001, *, p < .05). Abbreviations: MSL, monosodium luminol; NAC, N-acetyl-l-cysteine; UT, untreated.
