EA reduced MPTP-induced astroglial activation in the nigrostriatal pathway. (A,B) Striatum (A) and substantia nigra (B) sections were double immunostained using GFAP (astrocyte marker) and Iba-1 (microglia marker) antibodies. Scale bar = 50 µm. (C,D) Quantitative analysis of GFAP (green) and Iba-1 (red) fluorescence intensities. Results are presented as means ± SEs (n = 5–6 mice/group). *** p < 0.001 vs. naïve controls and ## p < 0.01 vs. MPTP controls (ANOVA with Fisher’s PLSD procedure).
