Synopsis of hibernation dependent tau phosphorylation in arctic ground squirrels (Spermophilus parryii) and Syrian hamsters (Mesocricetus auratus).

The table shows the increase of tau phosphorylation at specific sites in different brain regions during the hibernation cycle (TE – early torpor; TL – late torpor; AE – early arousal; AL – late arousal). Data are based on Western blot experiments. Increase factors are related to the level of phosphorylation in euthermic animals. Italic p-values indicate significant alterations (p≤0.05).
