Fig. 5From: Astrocytic ceramide as possible indicator of neuroinflammationASM expression is not specific for astrocytes. a Immunohistochemical staining for ASM in the inferior frontal gyrus of non-demented controls, PDD, and FTD-Pi. DAB (brown) was used as chromogen and hematoxylin (blue) was used for counterstaining of the nucleus. Black arrows indicate microglia. White arrows indicate astrocytes. Bar: 50 μm. b Quantitative analysis of the immunoreactive area for ASM in FTD-Pi (n = 4), PDD (n = 5), and controls (n = 5). The values represent the mean ± S.E.MBack to article page
