Photomicrographs of the hippocampal subregions in different groups of rats immunostained for glial acidic protein (GFAP). Note the expression of GFAP (arrow) in large number in AD and AD+NAC group in all regions. The number of GFAP positive astrocytes was more in AD and AD+NAC treated groups (AD+NAC 100) (photomicrographs of sham and AD+NAC 50 groups are avoided for simplicity). Scale bar= 25μ, in CA1-CA4 regions, =15μ in dentate gyrus (DG).
