Immunohistochemistry was used to evaluate the activation of microglia cells in CA1 regions and mPFC in each group on POD2. a, b Representable image of microglia cells expression in CA1 regions and mPFC. Typical morphological changes of activated microglia cells such as short and thick processes, larger cell body volumes and fewer branches. Magnification: × 400 times. c and d respectively represent the Iba-1(+) cell immunoreactivity quantification in CA1 regions and mPFC between each group. All values are expressed as means ±SD, n = 5 per group, * p < 0.05
