Effects of FLX on the numbers of BrdU-positive cells in the DG and the SVZ. (A) BrdU-positive structures, which are the nuclei of proliferating cells and early postmitotic immature granule cells, stand in a line between the granule cell layer and the hilus. FLX treatments upregulated BrdU-positive cells in all periods, compared with sham-operated and control pellet-administered mice. (B) BrdU-positive cells in the SVZ of FLX-treated mice. The numbers of BrdU-positive cells in the DG (C) and the SVZ (D) are quantified. The values are means ± SEM of 4-5 animals in each group. ** p < 0.01 significantly different from sham-operated group. Gr, granule cell layer; Hi, hilus; Lv, lateral ventricle; Mo, molecular layer; Se, septum; St, striatum.
