Alcian blue-safranin-stained mast cells in the hippocampi of rats after lipopolysaccharide (LPS) treatment. (a) Alcian blue-safranin staining was used to detect mast cells (arrow) in the CA1 of the hippocampus. . (b) Quantification of mast cells stained with Alcian blue-safranin. All experiments were repeated three times. and vs. controls. Data are presented as the ().
