Figure 8: Neurodegeneration is not modified by smoking exposure.
From: Smoking exacerbates amyloid pathology in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease
Neuronal density (number of neurons per mm2) was estimated by quantifying the number of neurons after NeuN staining (a-c). Neuronal density is similar in control and smoke-exposed animals (P>0.5) in cortical region (d), CA1–CA3 hippocampal areas (e) and subiculum (f) positing that cigarette smoke does not increase the rate of neuronal death. I–VI: cortical layers; so: stratum oriens; sp: stratum pyramidale; sr: stratum radiatum; spm: stratum polymorphic; pcl: pyramidal cell layer; sm: stratum moleculare. Data (mean±s.e.m.) was analysed by one-way ANOVA test. n=5–6 animals/group. Scale bar: 50 μm.
