Ablation of the Locus Coeruleus Increases Oxidative Stress in Tg-2576 Transgenic but Not Wild-Type Mice
Figure 6
Lipids: Octadecanoic (stearic) acid and cholesterol. Box plots describing the modest elevations of octadecanoic acid and cholesterol in the brains of transgenic animals in which the locus coeruleus had been ablated. For each metabolite, the distribution of values within each of the four cohorts is represented as a Whisker plot, with the relative normalized intensity as the abscissa. Mean values represented by the black arrowheads, median values by blue arrowheads. Detailed statistical comparisons of both of these metabolites in the four cohorts are given in Table 1.
