Plasmalogens enhance synaptic plasticity in the hippocampus of aged mice. (A) Representative images showing the expression of synaptophysin (green) in the CA1 and DG region of mice hippocampus. (B–C) Graph showing quantification of the immunostaining of synaptophysin in the CA1 and DG region of murine hippocampus (n = 4 mice for each group), and values are presented as mean ± SEM. (D) Representative immunoblotting of synaptophysin levels and (E) graph showing quantification of synaptophysin levels. The quantification is a ratio of synaptophysin/β-tubulin levels (n = 3 mice per group), and values are presented as mean ± SD. Asterisks indicate statistical significances compared to Aged control by one-way ANOVA; significance (*p < 0.05; **p < 0.01), scale bars, 50 μm.
