Fig. 7. Astrocyte Proliferation in the olfactory lobe glomerular layer following intranasally administered vanadium.
Male C57 black mice were intranasally administered 50 µl (182 ug) of vanadium as described in the methods. The vehicle control group was administered de-ionized water. These treated animals were intracardially perfused and the astrocytes in the olfactory lobe were stained for GFAP by immunohistochemistry. A representative 20× pictures of GFAP astroglia in the olfactory lobe of the control and vanadium treated mice is shown. The data is representative of 3 mice per treatment group.
