The Role of Glucocorticoid Receptors in Dexamethasone-Induced Apoptosis of Neuroprogenitor Cells in the Hippocampus of Rat Pups
Figure 3
TUNEL-positive cells were more numerous in the hippocampus of Dex-treated D1D2 pups than in control (, *) (a) and the ratio of TUNEL-positive cells which coexpressed nestin to total TUNEL-positive cells was higher in the Dex treated than in the control groups (, *) (b). The ratio of TUNEL-positive cells coexpressing NeuN to total TUNEL-positive cells was higher than that of control (, *) (c). Dex-treated D1D2: P1 pups receiving dexamethasone on postnatal day 1 and sacrificed on day 2.
