Figure 4From: Cynomorium songaricum extract enhances novel object recognition, cell proliferation and neuroblast differentiation in the mice via improving hippocampal environment Effects of CSE on cell proliferation. BrdU immunofluorescence in the dentate gyrus of the vehicle-treated (A), 40 mg/kg CSE-treated (B), and 100 mg/kg CSE-treated (C) groups. BrdU-positive cells are significantly higher in the 100 mg/kg CSE-treated group than in the vehicle-treated and 40 mg/kg CSE-treated groups. GCL: granule cell layer; ML: molecular layer; PoL: polymorphic layer. Scale bar = 50 μm. D: The number of BrdU-positive cells in the dentate gyrus of the vehicle-treated, 40 mg/kg CSE-treated, and 100 mg/kg CSE-treated groups (n = 7 per group; *P < 0.05, versus vehicle-treated group; # P < 0.05, versus the 40 mg/kg CSE-treated group). All data are shown as the mean ± SEM.Back to article page
