Ageing, Adipokines and Alzheimer's Disease: Exploring the Neuroprotective Effects of Leptin and Cholecystokinin. (thesis data)

Dataset

Description

Excel files of raw data from thesis (.xlsx)
images from microscope in .tiff and .czi (requires imageJ to open)
statistical analysis .pzf (requires prism graphpad to open)

Images with the ending .czi can be opened using the bioformats importer in FIJI (Fiji Is Just ImageJ).
In the imports options menu uncheck any boxes except Autoscale. View stack with: Hyperstack, Stack order: XYCZT, ROI Import Mode: ROI manager, Colour mode: Colorized.

unless otherwise stated images were taken at x63 magnification.
