Neuron J analysis of dendritic morphology in hippocampal CA1 region of SAMP8 mice at 10 days after acupuncture.

Dystrophic neurites and reduced dendritic complexity are common dendritic abnormalities in AD. (A) Acupuncture had an effect on the length of basal dendrites in the hippocampal CA1 region of SAMP8 mice. (B) Acupuncture had an effect on the length of apical dendrites in the hippocampal CA1 region of SAMP8 mice. (C) Acupuncture had an effect on the number of basal dendritic branches in the hippocampal CA1 region of SAMP8 mice. (D) Acupuncture had an effect on the number of apical dendritic branches in the hippocampal CA1 region of SAMP8 mice. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.001 (mean ± SD; n = 10; analysis of variance followed by post hoc Bonferroni testing). SAMP8: Senescence-accelerated mouse prone 8; SAMR1: senescence-accelerated mouse resistant 1; AD: Alzheimer's disease; SA: Sanjiao acupuncture.
