FIG. 3.
Fractionated whole-brain irradiation and/or ramipril treatment fails to alter total number of microglia (panel A) as well as microglial activation (panel B) in the perirhinal cortex. Rats received either sham irradiation (Sham), 40 Gy of fractionated whole-brain irradiation (fWBI), sham irradiation +15 mg/L of ramipril in the drinking water (Sham + Ram), or 40 Gy of fractionated whole-brain irradiation + ramipril (fWBI + Ram). Ramipril was continuously administered to the rats starting 3 days before the beginning of fractionated whole-brain irradiation. Data represent the mean ± SEM; n = 4 rats/group.
