Effects of neonatal hypoxia on synapsin-related synaptic function and plasticity in 720-day-old male rats.

<p>(<b>A,B</b>) Synapsins I and II mRNA levels in various brain structures (PFCx = prefrontal cortex, FCx = frontal cortex, SVZ = subventricular zone) in control and hypoxia groups (n = 3, *<i>P</i><0.05, **<i>P</i><0.01). (<b>C</b>) Western blot analysis of synapsins and their regulatory proteins, in frontal cortex (cx) and hippocampus (hip) of control (C) and hypoxic (H) rats. (<b>D,E</b>) Densitometric analysis of western blots presented in panel C. Data are expressed in arbitrary units (AU) as means ± SD (n = 3, *<i>P</i><0.05, **<i>P</i><0.01).
