Figure 6

Comparison of the expression levels of the GABA-synthesizing enzyme isoform GAD67 in young adult and old rats. The top panel shows typical GAD67 western blotting results for young rats (YR1, YR2, YR3) and old rats (OR1, OR2, OR3) using GAD67 and GAPDH antibodies (see also the full-length blots presented in Supplementary Figure 2). The bottom panel shows the mean optical density (OD) of the GAD67 band normalized to the OD of the band corresponding to GAPDH in the two groups of rats. The mean normalized OD value of the GAD67 band in old rats (0.694 ± 0.075) was significantly lower than that in young rats (0.872 ± 0.079) (two-tailed t-test, p = 0.0027).
