Figure 4

Effects of SOD treatment on UCP2 immunoreactivity (indirect method) in the hippocampal CA1 area. Confocal microscope images of UCP2 immunoreactivity of A: IPC group; B: IPC + SOD group; C: IPC +vehicle group. Notice the similarity in the appearance of SOD-treated neurons in B with that of control neurons in Fig 2A. D: Bar graph of fluorescence intensities of UCP-2 staining (mean ± S.E.M, n = 4 animals). Scale bar A, B, C = 15 μm. Significant differences were determined by repeated measures ANOVA plus Tukey's test. *** P < 0.001 compared to IPC group; ## P < 0.01 compared to IPC + SOD group.
