Exploring the Mechanism on the Medullary Visceral Zone Inhibiting the Cholinergic Anti-inflammatory Pathway Induced by Sepsis

Figure 7

Catecholaminergic neuron apoptosis in MVZ among different groups. The images mainly cover the NST and VLRN of MVZ. DAPI: 4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole, a fluorescent blue dye capable of binding strongly to DNA. TH: tyrosine hydroxylase, used for labeling catecholaminergic neurons (stained green with FITC); Caspase3: indicator for apoptotic cell (stained red with Cy3). The scale bars at the bottom left of the images represent 100 μm. a: vs. control group; c: vs. GTS-21 group.
