Fig. 3.
Age-dependent redox regulation of the NMDA receptor component of synaptic transmission. The top panels illustrates the response under control conditions (black line) for aged (left) and young (right) and following application of the reducing agent, DTT (gray line). DTT induces a large increase in the NMDA receptor response in older animals. The bottom panel illustrates the response under control conditions (black line) for aged (left) and young (right) and following application of the oxidizing agents, X/XO (gray line). Oxidizing conditions decrease the NMDA receptor response in young animals. Figure adapted from Bodhinathan et al. (2010b).
