Protein levels relative to the levels detected in wild-type animals (WT: 100). Mean expression relative to WT level ± standard error of the mean (SEM), P-values for the t-test comparing transgenic (TG) vs. wild-type (WT) with treated transgenic (TG*). (n = 10) CTX, cortex; HPC, Hippocampus; CRB, cerebellum. (Red indicates an increase, green a decrease, and blue no variation; changes were labeled for tendency toward significance with p ≤ 0.1: pink for tendancy toward increase and pale green for tendancy toward decrease).
