A 12-week fat-rich diet does not alter synaptic density in cortex and hippocampus. Cortical and hippocampal tissue was isolated from C57BL/6 mice, following 12-week feeding with obesogenic diets rich in palmitic acid (SFA; 45% total kCal) or oleic acid (MUFA; 45% total kCal), or a non-obesogenic, nutrient-matched control diet (chow; 10% total kCal from fat). Protein lysates were assessed for the expression of PSD-95, drebrin and synaptophysin (SYN) in cortex (a, c, e, g) and hippocampus (b, d, f, h), respectively. N = 3 animals per group. Data is presented as mean ± SEM overlaid with individual data points. Statistical differences were assessed using one-way ANOVA. Inserts illustrate representative immunoreactive bands for PSD-95, drebrin, SYN and β-actin (triplicate samples)
