Fig. 8 in Angiostrongylus cantonensis induces energy imbalance and dyskinesia in mice by reducing the expression of melanin-concentrating hormone

Fig. 8 Effect of intranasal MCH on synapse-related proteins. A Transcription levels of Bcl2, Map2, PSD95, Syp in mouse cortex (n = 5). B The expression levels of MAP2, PSD95, and SYP were evaluated by western blotting. C Densitometrical quantification of the blots after normalizing with β-actin (n = 3). Data are presented as mean ± SD. Compared with the AC group, statistical significance is indicated as *P <0.05, **P <0.01.
