Figure 2

Immunolabeling of microglia in the adult vole brain was consistent, robust and revealed no sex difference in microglial numbers in the DG. (A) Representative image depicting Iba1-immnoreactivity in the adult vole hippocampus including the DG. A higher magnification image of labeled microglia in the neighboring cortex is shown in (B) and shows that the vast majority displayed a highly branched morphology, indicative of the stellate type (see Figure 1). (C) Total number of DG microglia did not differ by sex but were significantly elevated in the females postnatally exposed to 50 mg/kg BPA. (Graphs depict means ± SEM; sample sizes per group shown in C; *P ≤0.05)
