Fluorescence micrographs of the spinal cord stained with dihydroethidium (DHE), superoxide-sensitive dye. In the control group, the fluorescence intensity of the lesion periphery at 1.5 mm (A) is higher than those at 3.0 mm (B) rostral from the epicenter. However, the fluorescence intensity of the lesion periphery at 1.5 mm (C) is less prominent than it at 3.0 mm (D) rostral from the epicenter in the anthocyanin-treated group.
