From: Biological sex does not predict glymphatic influx in healthy young, middle aged or old mice

Figure 3

Glymphatic influx decreases with age independent of sex. (a) Representative coronal sections at 0.6 mm anterior to bregma for young (2–4 months), middle (9–10 months), and old (22–24 months) male and female mice under KX anesthesia. White scale bar is 1 mm. Color intensity scale on the right in arbitrary units (A.U.). (b) Min/max boxplots of mean average fluorescent intensity. Individual animals represented by colored dots. Red: female, blue: male. Asterisk indicates p < 0.005. Young: n = 16 female and 20 male mice. Middle: n = 9 female and 8 male mice. Old: n = 17 female and 19 male mice.
