Fig. 5.
Photomicrographs of GFAP + cells in the striatum of (A) Control group; (B) 6-OHDA group, (C) DTTS 10, (D) DTTS 30 and (E) DTTS 100 groups. In F: quantitative results of the relative optical density (ROD) in the striatum as a percentage of the contralateral side, at 400× magnification. Columns represent the mean e and bars indicate the SEM. Control: group of animals microinjected with vehicle and that received distillated water; 6-OHDA: group of animals microinjected with 6-hydroxydopamine and that received distillated water; DTTS 10, DTTS 30 and DTTS 100: group of animals microinjected with 6-hydroxydopamine and that received aqueous extract of Tradescantia spathacea at 10, 30 and 100 mg/kg, respectively. **** indicates significant difference from Control group (p < 0.0001), and #### indicates significant difference from 6-OHDA (p < 0.0001).
