Fig. 8. Amyloid accumulation is significantly greater in post-mortem tissue from female compared with male AD patients.

Fig. 8

a Congo red staining in the parenchyma was more pronounced in parietal cortical tissue from female, compared with male, AD patients and plaque area was significantly increased (*p < 0.05; n = 5; scale bar = 100 μm). b Vascular amyloid staining was significantly greater in sections prepared from male AD patients compared with females (***p < 0.001; n = 5; scale bar = 400 μm). c CD68 immunoreactivity was significantly greater in parietal cortex from male, compared with the female, AD patients (*p < 0.05, 1-tailed t-test; n = 4 except for AD females where n = 5; scale bar = 100 μm; magnified image, 50 μm). Data, expressed as means ± SEM (n = 5), were analysed by the Student’s t-test (1-tailed t-test for CD68 and 2-tailed for amyloid staining).
