Activation of β2AR restores dendritic branches and spine density in the hippocampus.

The mice were sacrificed, and Golgi staining was used to detect the dendrites and spines in the hippocampus. (A) Golgi-stained hippocampal pyramidal neurons; scale bars: 50 μm. (B) The number of dendritic branches was quantified from randomly selected neurons (Golgi staining). (C) Dendritic spines of different hippocampal pyramidal neurons; scale bars: 10 μm. (D) The number of dendritic spines was quantified from randomly selected dendritic segments of neurons (Golgi staining). Data are expressed as the mean ± SD (n = 3; one-way analysis of variance followed by least significant difference post hoc tests). **P < 0.01, vs. Con; #P < 0.05, vs. APP/PS1. Con: Control; β2AR: β2-adrenoceptor; APP/PS1: amyloid precursor protein/presenilin 1; Clen: clenbuterol.
