Overexpression of PGC-1α in skeletal muscle does not protect against reduction of hippocampal neurogenesis in aging. (a) Images showing BrdU immunostainings of DG for 3- and 11-month-old animals 4 weeks after first BrdU-injection, with corresponding graphs representing number of BrdU+-cells in the SGZ and GCL for (b) 3- (two-way ANOVA; n = 6–10; n.s.) and (c) 11-month-old animals (two-way ANOVA; n = 9–14; n.s.). (d) Images showing NeuN/BrdU immunostainings of DG for 3- and 11-month-old animals with confocal picture from quantification of NeuN+/BrdU+-cells with corresponding graphs representing number of NeuN+/BrdU+-cells for (e) 3- (two-way ANOVA; n = 6–10; n.s.) and (f) 11-month-old animals (two-way ANOVA; n = 9–14; n.s.). Images showing (g) DCX immunostainings of DG for 3- and 11-month-old animals with corresponding graphs showing number of DCX+ cells for (h) 3- (two-way ANOVA; n = 6–10; n.s.) and (i) 11-month-old animals (two-way ANOVA; n = 7–9; n.s.). Data expressed as mean ± SEM for female and male WT and MCK-PGC-1α animals. Scale bars = 20 µm.
