Immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining of parenchymal and hippocampal cells in 0 dpi and 21 dpi groups to visualize the expression and localization of caspase-3 and cleaved caspase-3. The expression levels of parenchymal caspase-3 (a1) and hippocampal caspase-3 (a2) in the 0 dpi group, parenchymal caspase-3 (a3) and hippocampal caspase-3 (a4) in the 21 dpi group, parenchymal cleaved caspase-3 (b1) and hippocampal cleaved caspase-3 (b2) in the 0 dpi group, and parenchymal cleaved caspase-3 (b3) and hippocampal cleaved caspase-3 (b4) in the 21 dpi group were measured by IHC. Arrowheads and arrows indicate caspase-3-positive cells and cleaved caspase-3-positive cells, respectively (magnification: 200×; insets: 400×). c, d The percentages of positive cells in the hippocampus (c) and parenchyma (d). Scale-bars: 50 μm; insets: 50 μm
