Figure Lengend Snippet: KCa3.1 contributes to increased ER stress in APP/PS1 mice. a Western blot analysis of GRP78 and CHOP protein levels in hippocampal extracts of 15-month-old WT, KCa3.1 −/− , APP/PS1, and KCa3.1 −/− /APP/PS1 mice. b , c Data are presented as the mean ± SEM ( n = 3–5). The OD values of GRP78 ( b ) and CHOP ( c ) were normalized to that of β-actin. # p
