Figure Lengend Snippet: Changes in PP1γ1 and PP1-regulatory proteins during normal ageing. Quantification of protein levels in dorsolateral striatal homogenates from normal rats at 4–6, 12–14 or 21–23 months of age. PP1γ1 was elevated only at 21–23 months (F2,47 = 12.02, P < 0.0001), DARPP-32 was decreased only at 12–14 months (F2,45 = 7.98, P = 0.001), while both spinophilin (F2,45 = 7.77, P = 0.001) and neurabin (F2,43 = 10.46, P = 0.0002) were decreased at 21–23 months.
