Cerebrolysin decreases the density of glial cells after pilocarpine-induced seizure. The administration of cerebrolysin decreased the density of glial cells after pilocarpine-induced seizure. (A,D) Iba-1 (red), GFAP (green), and DAPI (blue) in the hippocampal CA1 (A) and CA3 (D) regions. The administration of cerebrolysin after a seizure decreased the density of glial cells in the hippocampal CA1 and CA3 regions compared to the seizure-vehicle groups. Scale bar = 20 μm. (B,C,E,F) A graph of the density of glial cells according to the standard. The data are the mean ± SEM, n = 5, from each sham group; n = 5–7 for each seizure group. *p < 0.05 vs. vehicle-treated group; #p < 0.05 vs. sham-operated group [Kruskal–Wallis test with post hoc test: (B) Chi square = 17.244, df = 3, p = 0.001, (C) Chi square = 17.153, df = 3, p < 0.001, (E) Chi square = 17.456, df = 3, p = 0.001, (F) Chi square = 18.292, df = 3, p < 0.001].
