Values represent means ± SEMs of the data obtained for stereological and morphometrical analyses of three experimental groups: control, PSD96 h and SR21. Statistical analyses based on ANOVA and Tukey tests. Significance P < 0.05. ∗Different from control group and different from PSD96 h. RV: relative volume. AV: absolute volume.
