Effect of α-tocopherol treatment on hippocampal neurodegeneration induced by status epilepticus. (A) Degenerating neurons quantified as FluorJade-positive cells along rostro-caudal extension of CA1 field; (B) Neurofilament immunoreactivity expressed as percent of area fluorescence; (C) Dendritic spine number quantified per unit length of dendrite; (D) Synaptophysin immunoreactivity expressed as percent of area fluorescence. Statistical analyses performed by (A) Student’s t test: ** p < 0.01 and (B–D) one-way ANOVA and Tukey’s post hoc test: * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01. Figure modified from [276].
