a Iba1 immunofluorescence staining revealing the activation status of microglia in hippocampus of mice. b Quantitation of the number of Iba1-positive cells in hippocampus of mice in each group. Data are expressed by means ± standard deviation and analyzed by one-way ANOVA from three independent experiments. *p < 0.05, compared with the normal group. #p < 0.05, compared with the depression group
