早期電針對SAMP8小鼠不同腦區(qū)突觸素和PSD-95表達(dá)的影響

早期電針對SAMP8小鼠不同腦區(qū)突觸素和PSD-95表達(dá)的影響摘要：本研究旨在探究早期電針對SAMP8小鼠不同腦區(qū)突觸素和PSD-95表達(dá)的影響。選取16只SAMP8小鼠，隨機分成實驗組和對照組，實驗組進(jìn)行早期電針治療，對照組不進(jìn)行治療。通過免疫熒光法檢測實驗組和對照組小鼠腦組織突觸素和PSD-95的表達(dá)情況。結(jié)果顯示，早期電針對SAMP8小鼠海馬和前額葉皮質(zhì)腦區(qū)突觸素和PSD-95的表達(dá)具有顯著影響。實驗組小鼠海馬和前額葉皮質(zhì)腦區(qū)突觸素和PSD-95的表達(dá)量顯著高于對照組。通過實驗結(jié)果可以得知，早期電針對SAMP8小鼠海馬和前額葉皮質(zhì)腦區(qū)突觸素和PSD-95的表達(dá)具有顯著影響，有望成為改善老年認(rèn)知障礙、治療老年癡呆的新型治療手段。
