Lead does not impair the dendritic complexity of immature neurons in the DG of male mice. a, Representative confocal images of DCX (red) immunostaining in the DG of 20-week-old male ApoE3-KI and ApoE4-KI control and lead-treated mice (left scale bar, 100 μm; right scale bar, 25 μm). b, Representative examples of DCX+ neurons from male ApoE3-KI and ApoE4-KI control and lead-treated mice traced using the ImageJ Simple Neurite Tracer plug-in (scale bar, 25 μm). c, Quantification of the total dendritic length of DCX+ neurons in the DG. Sholl analysis of DCX+ neurons from d ApoE3-KI and e ApoE4-KI male mice. Data are mean ± SEM with n = 4–5 per genotype/treatment. Two-way ANOVA with Fisher’s LSD post-test: n.s., not significant
