Effects of AIE (5 g/kg, i.g., 2 days on/2 days off) exposure on SOX2+ and Mash1+IR expression in the subventricular zone (SVZ) of male rat brain at P57 and P95. AIE exposure remarkably decreased SOX2+ (18%, A) and Mash1+IR (59%, B) at P95 compared with control group. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 compared with control group. There was a significant maturational decline with SOX2+ (A, control: 25%; AIE: 41%), and Mash1+IR (B, AIE: 56%) expression in control or AIE group. #p < 0.05, ###p < 0.001 compared with control or AIE group at P57, respectively. The data were expressed as pixels of SOX2+ and Mash1+IR, each point is mean ± SEM per mm2 (n = 7~8/group). Right panels: SOX2+ and Mash1+IR expression in the SVZ at P95 (Immunohistochemical staining, Bar scale = 100 μm on SOX2+IR; 50 μm on Mash1+IR).
