Immunohistochemistry for GFAP (a marker for astrocytes), in the lesioned right striatum (a). A high number of immunopositive cells are present in the untreated 6-OHDA group, and this number decreased in the 6-OHDA group after SEMU treatments (20 and 40 mg/kg, p.o.). Almost no immunopositive cells were noticed in the SO group (magnification: 400x). Arrows indicate GFAP immunopositive cells. (b) shows the means ± SEM of the number of GFAP immunopositive cells (three different fields) in each group. versus the untreated 6-OHDA group (, ).
