Proliferation of microglia and astrocyte in the cortex from a rat brain as determined by immunofluorescence staining for Iba-1 and GFAP, respectively. Representative micrographs of Iba-1 staining are shown. (a) The region for immunofluorescence staining of (b) sham, SAH, SAH+fluorocitrate (50 mg/kg), and SAH+minocycline (50 mg/kg). (c) The intensities of immunofluorescence staining for Iba-1 in the images were quantified relative to the levels of the sham group. (d) The intensities of immunofluorescence staining for GFAP in the images were quantified relative to the levels of the sham group. compared with sham group. ## and ### compared with the SAH+minocycline group. ++ and +++ compared with the SAH+fluorocitrate group.
