Fig. 6: Effects of CAP and Nic on microglia in the olfactory bulb and anterior olfactory nucleus of MPTP-induced mice.

a Representative immunofluorescence images of Iba1 and CD68 in the granule cell layer of the olfactory bulb; b Representative immunofluorescence images of Iba1 and CD68 in the anterior olfactory nucleus; c Ibar positive cells in the granule cell layer; d Iba1 and CD68 co-localization in the granule cell layer; e Iba1 endpoints in the granule cell layer; f Iba1 process length in the granule cell layer; g Ibar positive cells anterior olfactory nucleus; h Iba1 and CD68 co-localization in the anterior olfactory nucleus; i Iba1 endpoints in the anterior olfactory nucleus; j Iba1 process length in the anterior olfactory nucleus. Iba1: green; CD68: red; DAPI: blue; Images were captured using a 63× objective, scale bar = 25 μm;enlarge scale bar = 2.5 μm. (n = 6 mice per group for a–j). Statistical analyses were performed by one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s multiple comparison test. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001.
