From: Chronic hyperpalatable diet induces impairment of hippocampal-dependent memories and alters glutamatergic and fractalkine axis signaling

Figure 4

Chronic consumption of HSB diet did not alter densitometry and morphological parameters in hippocampal microglia. (A) Representative photomicrography of Iba-1 stained cells in dentate gyrus (DG), CA1, and CA2-3 of lean (AIN93G) and obese (HSB) groups. (B–D) Mensuration of microglial optical densitometry of in DG (B), CA1 (C), and CA2–3 (D). (E–G) Cell body to cell size ratio of microglia in DG (E), CA1 (F), and CA2–3 (G). Microscope lens ×40 and 50 µm scale bar for the images. Error bars represent the mean ± SEM; n = 8. Unpaired two tail T-student test (B–E), and Mann–Whitney test (F,G).
