Umbilical Cord Blood-Derived Stem Cells Improve Heat Tolerance and Hypothalamic Damage in Heat Stressed Mice

Figure 2

Hypothalamic hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining 4 hours after WBH. Photographs showing hypothalamic HE staining for a (non-WBH + vehicle), a (WBH + vehicle) mouse, and a (WBH + CD34+ cells) mouse. Samples were obtained 4 hours after WBH for the WBH groups or the equivalent time period for the non-WBH group. (WBH + vehicle) mice showed cell body shrinkage, pyknosis of the nucleus, loss of Nissl substance, and disappearance of the nucleolus which could be attenuated by CD34+ cells treatment.
