Figure 5

Hippocampus weights and volumes in male and female Dusp8 WT and KO mice. Tissue weights were recorded from freshly microdissected hippocampi (A,B). Male WT: n = 7, male KO: n = 6; female WT: n = 7, female KO: n = 7. The knockout of Dusp8 was confirmed in hippocampus lysates using qPCR after RNA extraction. (C,D) H&E stainings of sequential cryosections through the brain (E, scale bar 1 mm) were used to calculate hippocampal volumes of male (F) and female (G) Dusp8 KO and Dusp8 WT mice. Male WT: n = 5, male KO: n = 7, female WT: n = 4, female KO: n = 6. Means ± SEM. **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001.
