Figure 6. Haematoxylin and eosin staining (HE) of hippocampal tissue.

Figure 6

Arrows show senescent neurons (A, inset windows) and cell disorder arrangement (A) in the DM group compared to the healthier hippocampal neurones in the DM + shRNA group and the normal ones in the con group. Immunohistochemistry of hippocampus tissue indicated the place and expression levels of Grb10 Interacting GYF Protein 2 (GIGYF2). Integrated optical density (IOD) values were measured by Image-Pro Plus, version 6.0, and expressed as the mean ± SEM (n = 3) of two independent experiments. (*p<0.05 vs con; # p<0.05 vs DM + shRNA) Abbreviations: con: normal control group; DM: diabetes mellitus group; DM +0: diabetes mellitus sham-knocked down group; DM + shRNA: diabetes mellitus GIGYF2-knockdown group.
