Acupuncture Stimulation at GB34 Restores MPTP-Induced Neurogenesis Impairment in the Subventricular Zone of Mice

Figure 4

Histological images and graphs of BrdU and doublecortin- (DCX-) positive cells in the SVZ. (a) BrdU and doublecortin- (DCX-) specific immunofluorescence staining. (b) The number of BrdU/DCX-positive cells in the SVZ. The number of the BrdU/DCX-double stained cells increased after MPTP administration, but acupuncture stimulation suppressed this increase. CC: cerebral cortex. ST: striatum. Scale bar = 10 µm. Data are shown as the mean ± standard error of the mean. < 0.05 versus saline group and < 0.05 versus MPTP group.
