Figure 4. NAC administration prevents MeHg-induced reduction of hippocampal cell content at P21.

Figure 4

A: Measurement of hippocampal DNA content at 2 weeks (P21) after MeHg exposure on P7. Total DNA was significantly reduced in MeHg treated animals, and NAC injection prevented this effect. B: Body weights of the animals were measured prior to sacrifice and no significant differences were observed between animals. Values are expressed as the means ± sem of 3 independent experiments, with 3 animals per group in each experiment. *, P < 0.05 vs control ; ###, P < 0.001 vs MeHg.
