Figure 4. Effect of antenatal dexamethasone treatment on the total number of apoptotic cells in the pyramidal cell layer in the CA (A) and in the granule cell layer of the DG (B).

Data are presented as mean ± SD. Apoptosis is significantly increased in the dex-treated group in both the CA area (E16, E18 and P0) and the DG (E18 and P0). Sal: saline-treatment (n = 8), dex: dexamethasone-treatment (n = 8), * p<0.05 (Two-Way ANOVA+Bonferroni).
