Aqueous Extract of Agaricus blazei Murrill Prevents Age-Related Changes in the Myenteric Plexus of the Jejunum in Rats

Table 5

Number of neurons (HuC/HuD⁺) and glial cells (S100⁺) per ganglion and glia/neuron ratio in rats at 7 months of age (C7 group) and 23 months of age (C23 group) and rats supplemented with the aqueous extract of A. blazei (CA23 group). The results are expressed as mean ± standard error.

	C7	C23	CA23
HuC/HuD^+/ganglion neurons	24.84 ± 0.74a^*	16.77 ± 0.50b	20.44 ± 0.66c
S100^+/ganglion glias	34.17 ± 0.98a	24.81 ± 0.67b	29.37 ± 0.90c
glias/neurons proportion	1.37 ± 0.03a	1.50 ± 0.12a	1.44 ± 0.07a
