Figure 4

Effect of OA extract on neuron density in the cerebral cortex. (a) Light microscope of coronal sections in the cerebral cortex was stained with cresyl violet at 40x magnification. (b) Density of survival neurons in the cerebral cortex. Data are presented as (/group). AAA; compared to naïve intact rats and , 0.001, respectively; compared to MCAO rats which received HCHF and vehicle. HCHF: high-carbohydrate high-fat diet; MCAO: right middle cerebral artery occlusion; OA1, OA2, and OA3: the combined extract of O. sativa and A. graveolens at doses of 0.5, 5, and 50 mg/kg BW, respectively.
