FIGURE 8.
2K1C disrupts the hippocampal BBB integrity in the 3xTg mice. 2-, 5-, and 7-month-old mice were given the 2K1C or the Sham operation, and their hippocampal relative levels of mouse IgG were determined at 1 month post-operation (termed 2 + 1, 5 + 1, and 7 + 1 groups). Representative immunostaining micrographs are shown on the left panels. The quantitative results are shown on the right panels. N = 5 for all ages, treatments and regions. ∗p < 0.05, ∗∗∗p < 0.001 versus respective Sham group, Bonferroni’s post hoc test. D. Hippo, dorsal part of hippocampus; V. Hippo, ventral part of hippocampus.
