Melatonin Alleviates Neuroinflammation and Metabolic Disorder in DSS-Induced Depression Rats
Figure 4
Melatonin-induced attenuation of hippocampal neuroinflammation in DSS rats. (a–c) Micrographs depict labeling of GFAP (green) and Iba-1 (red) in rat hippocampal slices. Nuclear staining was performed with DAPI (blue). (d) The number of cells expressing GFAP, a marker of astrocyte activation. (e) The number of cells expressing Iba1, a marker of microglia activation. (f) Hippocampal IL-1β levels of rats measured with ELISA. (g) Hippocampal zonulin levels of rats measured with ELISA. Data represent the . , , and . ; ; .
