Comparison of KA-lesion induced MFS using Timm's staining in DH.

<p>The extent of aberrant MFS in saline-treated group with severe hippocampal injury (A1and A2), simvastatin-treated group with moderate hippocampal injury (B1 and B2) and in comparison with rats with intracerebroventricular saline injection (C1 and C2), visualized by Timm's histochemical staining. Quantitative data for width and density of sprouting into DSGL were presented in (D and E). GCL, granule cell layer, UB, upper blade; LB, lower blade. Scale bars = 500 µm in A1 and 200 µm in A2. (*P<0.05, vs. the simvastatin-treated group).
