Effect of AC extract on synaptic markers expression in OVX rats with CUMS exposure. a The levels of Synaptophysin and PSD95 expression in hippocampus of rats were measured by western blotting. AC extract administration restored Synaptophysin and PSD95 expression in OVX rats with CUMS exposure. Western blots show expression levels of Synaptophysin and PSD95 in hippocampus of rats. b, c Quantification of proteins shown in (a). The relative levels of the proteins were normalized to β-actin expression. The band intensities were measured using Image J. N = 3 independent ELISA from 5 rats for each experimental group. Data represent mean ± SEM. Statistical significance was determined by multiple t-test with Bonferonni correction test. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001
