Neonatal hyperoxia exposure reduced Purkinje cell dendritic length and diameter. (A) Representative photomicrographs of Calbindin-stained Purkinje cells (Bar = 50 μm; Insets show higher-magnification views [Bar = 5 μm]). The gray line and arrow show the length and diameter of the dendrites, respectively. (B) The number of Purkinje cells per 100 μm was not significantly different between the two groups (control, n = 11; hyperoxia, n = 13). (C) The dendritic length of Purkinje cells in the hyperoxia group was significantly shorter than that in the control group (control, n = 11; hyperoxia, n = 13). (D) The dendritic diameter of Purkinje cells in the hyperoxia group was significantly shorter than that in the control group (control, n = 11; hyperoxia, n = 13). Data represent mean ± standard deviation; *p < 0.05.
