Fig. 12From: Dexmedetomidine attenuates postoperative spatial memory impairment after surgery by reducing cytochrome CDexmedetomidine administration prevented surgery-induced upregulation of mitochondrial electron transport chain-related proteins in the hippocampus (A) Western blotting showed the expression of Cytochrome c in the hippocampus 3 and 7 days after surgery. (B) Quantitative analysis revealed that te expression levels of Cytochrome c in the hippocampus were significantly higher in the model group than in the Control group and the Dex group. (C) the expression of ATPase in the hippocampus 3 and 7 days after surgery. (D) Quantitative analysis revealed that the expression levels of ATPase in the hippocampus was no difference among the three experimental groups. * P < 0.05 Compared with ModelBack to article page
