Table 5.
Mean+SEM values of BrdU LI and numerical density of all cells (BrdU labeled and unlabeled/1,440μm2) in the different layers of the frontal cortex of P21 mice in the three experimental groups (L-DOPA, ASC and WATER). ANOVA was performed to determine if the overall group differences were statistically significant (p<0.05). Since ANOVA revealed significant differences in BrdU LI in layers II–III and layers II–VI. Tukey’s Multiple Comparison Test was performed on those measurements, which revealed significant differences (p<0.05) between L-DOPA and ASC (†).
