Alteration of Extracellular Matrix Molecules and Perineuronal Nets in the Hippocampus of Pentylenetetrazol-Kindled Mice

Figure 7

Distribution of VGLUT1-positive and GAD67-positive puncta in the PTZ-kindled mouse hippocampus. Double confocal images of VGLUT1, GAD67, and merged images in CA1 (a) of control (upper panels) and PTZ-kindled mice (lower panels). High-magnification double confocal images of VGLUT1, GAD67, and merged image in the SO and SR of the CA1 (b). Quantified mean fluorescence intensity of VGLUT1-positive puncta (c) and GAD67-positive puncta (d), excluding the GAD67-positive neurons, in the PTZ-kindled mouse hippocampus. Data are expressed as the ( mice per group). The values indicate two-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni -tests. . PTZ: pentylenetetrazole; VGLUT1: vesicular glutamate transporter 1; GAD67: glutamate decarboxylase 67; SO: stratum oriens; SR: stratum radiatum.
