Chronic Unexpected Mild Stress Destroys Synaptic Plasticity of Neurons through a Glutamate Transporter, GLT-1, of Astrocytes in the Ischemic Stroke Rat

Figure 4

Ceftriaxone alleviated the accumulation of glutamate in newborn neurons in hippocampal DG in the CUMS-induced model rats. (a) Representative immunofluorescent photomicrographs (200×) of glutamine (Gln, green) in newborn neurons (NeuN/BrdU, red/blue) were pictured on the 21st/28th/42nd day. Scale bars: 20 μm. (b) Representative immunofluorescent photomicrographs (200×) of glutamate (Glu, green) in newborn neurons (NeuN/BrdU, red/blue) on the 21st/28th/42nd day. Scale bars: 20 μm. (c) Fluorescence intensity of glutamine in newborn neurons was influenced by the level of astroglial GLT-1. (d) Accumulation of glutamate in newborn neurons in hippocampal DG in the CUMS-induced model rats was alleviated by upregulated astroglial GLT-1. , , , , two-way ANOVA (Tukey), .
