Drug dose-effect responses and systemic effects. (AC) Area of ChAT immunoreactive cells in animals given LM11A-31 once daily for three months from age 15 to 18 months, at the indicated doses (n = 7–9 each). Values in a matched young cohort (age 4 months, n = 8) are indicated by the dashed line. Treatment inhibited the age-associated decrease in cholinergic neuron area in total (MS + VDB) and similarly in the MS and VDB individually. Composite data for all cholinergic cells (MS + VDB) yielded an EC50 of 11.77 mg/kg. (D) Mean body weights in each group as a proportion of pretreatment weights (31.4–33.0 g) did not change significantly over the course of the experiment. (E) Three-month treatment with LM11A-31 at 5–50 mg/kg had no effect on brain weights at 18 months. Values are expressed as mean + sem.
