Effect of piperlongumine (PL) on hippocampal neurogenesis. (A) Representative photomicrographs of the DG of the hippocampus of young control, aged vehicle and aged PL groups. Arrows indicate doublecortin (DCX)-positive cells. (B) The number of DCX-positive cells in the DG area of aged mice treated with the vehicle or PL and young mice (young control; n=5, aged vehicle; n=6, aged PL; n=9). Scale bar, 100 μm. *P<0.05 and **P<0.01, significant differences from an indicated group, determined by one-way ANOVA, followed by Tukey-Kramer's post-hoc test. Data are presented as the means ± SEM.
