Figure 5.
Cell numbers of neurons, astrocytes and microglia in healthy cortex, penumbra and ischemic core region. The numbers of neurons (A), microglia (B) and astrocytes (C) differentiated by immunohistochemical staining in healthy ipsilateral cortex (healthy), penumbra (penumbra) and ischemic core (ischemia) of tMCAO animals and their corresponding sham regions are shown in Figure 5. (Sham N2 n = 3; Sham Ar n = 3; tMCAO N2 n = 3; tMCAO n = 3). All values are presented as mean ± SEM. * p < 0.05.
