  1. LY-411575 (5 mg/Kg) had no effect on dystrophy size when dystrophies located in close proximity to senile plaques (within 15 μm) were measured in four consecutive imaging sessions using multiphoton imaging. The first imaging session (session 1) was acquired before the commencement of the treatment. Animals received daily gavage administrations of LY-411575 or vehicle for 3 weeks. Imaging was performed on a weekly basis (sessions 2, 3 and 4). Analysis using a two way ANOVA for repeated measures resulted in: sessionXtreatment [F(3,1968) = 1.461; P = 0.223]). Data are from 3–4 mice and 36–534 dystrophies. We also did not detect any significant effect on shaft diameter of the neurites, located within 50 μm of plaques, (two way ANOVA for repeated measures sessionXtreatment [F(3,329) = 0.884; P = 0.450]). Data are from 3–4 mice and 23–111 neurites.
