Figure 6. Astrocytes in SIV-infected animals have less complex morphology.

Figure 6

The quantity of branching points and end points shown by astrocytic processes in grey matter were significantly decreased in astrocytes of animals infected with SIV regardless of encephalitic status (A and C). In white matter astrocytes, only animals with SIV without evidence of encephalitis showed significant decreases in the number of branching points and ending segments (B and D). Results are shown as mean ± SD (asterisk (*) indicates significance from Control group, p <0.05).
