A: Western blot analysis of SIRT1 expression in whole hippocampus homogenates from 6 month old offspring previously exposed GD1-PD21 to cigarette smoke. Hippocampus homogenates from CSE offspring at age 6 months exhibited a decrease of approximately 50% in expression of the metabolic regulatory protein SIRT1 when compared to Sham exposed (*p<0.05; n=4 per group). Long horizontal lines indicate mean signal intensity, with the standard deviation represented by the shorter horizontal bars.
B: Western blot analysis of NAMPT expression in whole hippocampus homogenates from 6 month old offspring previously exposed GD1-PD21 to cigarette smoke. Hippocampus homogenates from CSE offspring at age 6 months exhibited a decrease of approximately 11% in expression of the metabolic regulatory protein NAMPT when compared to Sham exposed (p<0.07; n=4 per group). Long horizontal lines indicate mean signal intensity, with the standard deviation represented by the shorter horizontal bars.
