FGF2 Attenuates Neural Cell Death via Suppressing Autophagy after Rat Mild Traumatic Brain Injury

Figure 3

Effects of FGF2 on the expression of LC3 in the ipsilateral cortex 48 h post-TBI. (a) Representative microphotographs showed the colocalization of DAPI (blue) with LC3 (red) positive cells in the ipsilateral cortex 48 h post-TBI. Scale bar = 100 μm. (b) The quantification of the LC3-positive cells as a percent of the total DAPI+ cells. The bars represent the mean ± SD. . versus sham and ^# versus TBI + FGF2.
