Fig. 5. N-[3-(4′-Flurophenyl)-3-(4′-phenylphenoxy)propyl]sarcosine (NFPS) facilitates long-term potentiation in CA1 hippocampal synaptic transmission in slices prepared from Seltzer model mice. ( A ) Time course of long-term potentiation in slices prepared from sham-treated ( circles ) and Seltzer model ( triangles ) mice in the absence ( clear circles and triangles ; vehicle) or presence ( solid circles and triangles ) of NFPS (25 nm). High-frequency electrical stimulation was delivered at time 0. Each point represents the mean ± SEM of eight separate experiments. ( B ) Long-term potentiation at 60 min after high-frequency electrical stimulation in slices from sham-treated and Seltzer model mice in the absence ( clear columns ; vehicle) or presence ( solid columns ) of NFPS (25 nm). ( C ) Representative averaged traces of two consecutive field excitatory postsynaptic potentials (fEPSPs) before ( broken line ) and 60 min after high-frequency electrical stimulation ( solid line ) during times on the time course graph were shown. The asterisks and daggers indicate data points for which a significant difference between the vehicle-treated Seltzer ( clear triangles in A ) and vehicle-treated sham ( clear triangles in A ) groups and between the vehicle-treated Seltzer ( clear triangles A ) and NFPS-treated Seltzer ( solid triangles in A ) groups, respectively, was observed, as determined by two-tailed multiple t test with Bonferroni correction after one-way analysis of variance (four comparisons in four groups, * P < 0.05 and ** P < 0.01, † P < 0.05 and †† P <0.01). ns = not significant.
