Elamipretide rescues surgery-induced neuronal damage and synaptic dysfunction in the mouse hippocampus. (A) Representative images of Hematoxylin and Eosin (HE) staining in the hippocampal CA1 region. Scale bar = 25 μm for all photographs. The lower panel shows statistical scores of neuronal damage. (B) Representative images of TUNEL staining in the hippocampal CA1 region. TUNEL-positive cells are dark brown. Scale bar = 50 μm for all photographs. The lower panel presents the number of TUNEL-positive neurons in the CA1 region of the hippocampus. (C) Representative western blotting and quantitative analysis of protein levels of synapsin 1 and PSD-95 in the hippocampus in aged mice. Values are presented as mean ± SEM (n = 6 mice/group). *p < 0.05 vs. the Veh group; #p < 0.05 vs. the Sur group.
