Therapy of Dredging the Bowels Enhanced the Neuroprotective Effect of Nourishing Kidney Herbs on Hippocampal Cholinergic System in Alzheimer’s Disease Model Rat Induced by Aβ 1-42

Figure 6

Effects of NKDB herbs on the number of AChE-positive cells and ChAT-positive cells in hippocampal CA1 region after the treatment. (a) Immunofluorescence staining of AChE-positive cells. (b) Immunofluorescence staining of ChAT-positive cells. (c) The number of AChE-positive cells. (d) The number of ChAT-positive cells. The sections were observed with magnification of 400× and scale bar was 50 μm. Bar graphs were represented with the mean ± standard deviation (n = 4). < 0.01 versus SOG, < 0.01 and < 0.05 versus MG, < 0.01 and < 0.05 versus NKDBG.
