Antioxidation Effect of Simvastatin in Aorta and Hippocampus: A Rabbit Model Fed High-Cholesterol Diet

Figure 3

H&E staining of hippocampal sections isolated from rabbit hippocampi. Pyramidal neurons in hippocampus showed no change in H&E staining in the control group. In contrast, atherogenic diet induced a fraction of pyramidal neurons that exhibited morphologic features of necrosis, and there had been fewer necrotic pyramidal neurons than matched sections from Simvastatin treatment group rabbits.
