Cecum ligation and puncture induces synaptic dysfunction in rats. Hippocampal CA3-CA1 LTP and its quantification (A) were recorded using the MED64 system. Normalized CA3-CA1 fEPSP mean slope recorded from the CA1 dendritic region in hippocampal slices (B). C, D Brain tissues from hippocampi were homogenized, and synaptic protein levels were detected by immunoblotting. n  = 3. p value significance is calculated from T test, and data are represented as mean  ±  SEM. *p  < 0.05, **p  < 0.01 vs control group
