Histopathological and Biochemical Assessment of Neuroprotective Effects of Sodium Valproate and Lutein on the Pilocarpine Albino Rat Model of Epilepsy

<div>Photomicrographs of the hippocampus of albino rat group II (positive control group) showing GFAP positive astrocytes (↑) in polymorphous and molecular layer. An apparent increase number of astrocytes are noticed in (a) CA1, (b) CA3, and (c) DG areas. Glial fibers appear twisted, thickened, and intensely stained compared to the control group. Scale bar: 50 <i>μ</i>m, positive control group II, GFAP immunostaining ×20.</div>
