Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Possible Neuroprotective Mechanisms in the Model of Global Ischemia in Rats

Figure 8

3 treatments (3 animals per group) reduced the immunostaining for iNOS mainly in the CA3 hippocampal subfield. Representative photomicrographs and measurements performed with the Image J software, from 3 to 5 fields. The groups are sham-operated (SO), untreated ischemic (ISC), and ischemic after 3 treatment (5 mg/kg, 7 days). (A) versus SO, q = ; (B) versus ISC + 3 (5), q = ; (C) versus SO, q = (one-way ANOVA and Newman-Keuls test as the post hoc test).
