Stiffness of the cortex. The Young’s modulus (E) is a direct measurement of local tissue stiffness showing that cortical tissue was softer in ADm mice than in WT mice. E values from the four experimental groups, WT mice subjected to RA (black bar) and IH (dashed black bar) and ADm mice subjected to RA (red bar) and IH (dashed red bar). Cortical tissue stiffness was significantly lower in ADm mice vs. WT littermate controls (DF = 1, F = 6.198, p = 0.017). Two-way ANOVA, *p < 0.05. Data are presented as mean ± SE. WT, wild type; RA, room air; IH, intermittent hypoxia; ADm, Alzheimer’s disease transgenic mouse.
