The Role of Glucocorticoid Receptors in Dexamethasone-Induced Apoptosis of Neuroprogenitor Cells in the Hippocampus of Rat Pups

Figure 2

TUNEL, nestin, and NeuN expression in the hippocampus of D1D2 pups treated with normal saline (NS) or Dex. Representative double-IF micrographs demonstrate TUNEL (red) and nestin (green) staining ((a) and (b)), and TUNEL (red) and NeuN (green) staining ((c) and (d)). Cells coexpressing two proteins are merged and show as yellow or orange. Magnification, 400x, scale bars, 50 μm. Dex-treated D1D2: P1 pups receiving dexamethasone on postnatal day 1 and sacrificed on day 2.
