Histological and Ultrastructural Changes Associated with JDTL Granules Treatment. H&E staining of the hippocampal CA3 area [(A), ×40]. Cells were structurally intact and with clear cytoplasm in the control group. In the model group, degeneration and necrosis occurred with reduced cells, scattered arrangement (arrow), and condensed and deep stained nucleus. Minor damage was observed in JDTL granules and fluoxetine groups. Ultrastructural characteristics of the nucleus [(B), ×20,000] and mitochondria [(C), ×40,000] in the hippocampal area. The control group neurons were with intact shape and uniform chromatin in the nucleus. Furthermore, the mitochondria were apparent and remained intact. The model group’s nucleus showed nuclear pyknosis, and the mitochondria deform, swell, and vacuolization (arrow). The treatment of JDTL granules and fluoxetine reduced the damage.
