Pretreatment with probiotics inhibits microgliosis and astrocytosis caused by cardiac surgery. A and B. Representative images of Iba-1 and GFAP expression detected by Western blot. C and D. Quantitative data of Iba-1 and GFAP in the hippocampus and the prefrontal cortex harvested 7 days after cardiac surgery (n = 6). Significance was tested by one-way analysis of variance. Con = control; CSP = probiotics-treated cardiac surgery; CPO = probiotics-treated control. *P<0.05, **P<0.01, ***P<0.001.
