DIZE alleviated synaptic and neuronal losses in the brain of SAMP8 mice. (A) The protein levels of synaptophysin in the brain were detected by western blot. β-actin was used as a loading control. (B) Quantitative analysis of synaptophysin protein levels. Data were expressed as a fold change relative to the age-matched vehicle-treated SAMR1 control mice. (C) Neuronal loss in the parietal cortex of mice were detected by Nissl staining. Neurons with dark violet nucleus and intact morphology were identified as Nissl-positive neurons. Scale bar=100 μm. (D) Quantitative analysis of Nissl-positive neurons in the brain. Data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s post hoc test. Columns represent mean ± SD (n=8 per group). *P<0.05 versus age-matched vehicle-treated SAMR1 control mice. #P<0.05 versus vehicle-treated SAMP8 mice.
