Increase of biochemical marker for gliosis (GFAP) after repetitive closed head injury.
(A) Schematic diagrams of brain sections. (B) Representative images were taken from cortex (upper), corpus callosum (middle) and hippocampus (lower). (C) GFAP immunoreactivity was quantified as the number of immunoreactive cells per tissue area (mm2). Arrows indicated representative astrogliosis. N = 6 mice/group. Data are presented as mean ± SEM. * represents P < 0.05 by t-test.
