Effects of dantrolene on calpain activity and cell viability in aged hippocampal neurons. Calpain activity was higher in middle-aged and aged hippocampal neurons than young neurons (A), and these differences were accompanied by a decreased cell viability in middle-aged and aged hippocampal neurons compared to young neurons (B). Dantrolene (20 μM) reduced calpain activity, and increased cell viability in aged hippocampal neurons. On the horizontal axis are indicated the experimental conditions. For calpain: nmice = 3/age group; for cell viability: nmice = 4/per age group. Values are expressed as means ± S.D. for each condition. One-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s post hoc comparisons, *p ≤ 0.05; NS, not significant.
