Effect of AVLE on neuronal apoptosis of hippocampus and cortex of CUMS rats. (a, b) TUNEL staining in the hippocampus DG region and cortex of CUMS rats. (c, d) Quantification of TUNEL-positive cells in the hippocampus and cortex. Scale bars: 50 μm. Data are presented as the mean ± SEM (n = 6); ∗∗P < 0.01 and ∗∗∗P < 0.001 compared with the control group; #P < 0.05 and ###P < 0.001 compared with the CUMS group. CON: control; CUMS: chronic unpredictable mild stress; AVLE: Apocynum venetum leaf extract (120 mg/kg); TUNEL: terminal deoxyribonucleotidyl transferase- (TDT-) mediated dUTP-digoxigenin nick end labeling.
