BrdU found in microglia only in the control fed mice following LPS.

<p>Low magnification confocal photomicrographs were used to determine if the BrdU was labeling non-neural cells. (<b>A–C</b>) In the control animals without LPS the majority of the BrdU cells were not found to be microglia. (<b>D–E</b>) In the control diet fed rats treated with LPS note that fewer BrdU cells were found and that many of the BrdU labeled cells were microglia.
