Statistical evaluation of changes in number of NeuN and GFAP positive cells in the CA1 region of the hippocampus. Number of NeuN positive neurons in the CA1 region in naïve control group (C), Met-C, IR-3D, Met-IR-3d, IR-7d and Met-IR-7d (right). Number of GFAP positive astrocytes in the CA1 region of the hippocampus (left). All results are presented as mean ± SD for n = 5/group, normalized to the control levels. *** p < 0.001 and ** p < 0.01 versus the control value; +++
p < 0.001 and +
p < 0.05 versus the Met-C; ##
p < 0.01 versus Met-IR-3d; &&&
p < 0.001 and &
p < 0.05 versus the groups with the same reperfusion period with/without Met diet pre-treatment.
