Figure 1. Reduced numbers of OPCs and mature oligodendrocytes after 3 days of chronic cerebral hypoperfusion.

Figure 1

(A) Representative confocal images showing morphology of early and late NG2+ OPCs in the corpus callosum. (B) A significant decrease in numbers of early NG2+ OPCs was found in the corpus callosum after 3 days of chronic cerebral hypoperfusion. (C) No significant differences in numbers of late NG2+ cells were observed after 3 days. (D) Representative confocal images of CC1+ labelling of oligodendrocyte cell bodies in the corpus callosum. (E) A significant decrease in CC1+ oligodendrocytes was found after 3 days of hypoperfusion. n = 13 sham, 12 hypoperfused for NG2 labelling experiments; n = 9 sham, 10 hypoperfused for CC1 labelling. Scale bars = 10 µm * p<0.05.
