[Retracted] Effects of Ozone on Hippocampus BDNF and Fos Expressions in Rats with Chronic Compression of Dorsal Root Ganglia

Figure 3

BDNF was mainly expressed in the cytoplasm and on the membrane of hippocampal cells in each group, as represented by brown staining. The average optical density of BDNF in the CCD group was lower than that in the sham group (), whereas those in the ozone intervention groups were higher than that in the CCD group (, ; , ). The average optical density of BDNF in the group was higher than that in the group (); however, it was still lower than that of the sham group (). Data are expressed as D (^a and ^aa, vs. sham group; ^b and ^bb, vs. CCD group; ^c and ^cc, vs. group).
