Fig. 7From: Effect of Enterococcus faecalis 2001 on colitis and depressive-like behavior in dextran sulfate sodium-treated mice: involvement of the brain–gut axisInfluence of Enterococcus faecalis 2001 (EF-2001) on hippocampal neurogenesis in dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-treated mice. Microscopy images of BrdU (red), DAPI (blue), and DCX (green) immunostaining in the dentate gyrus region of the hippocampus (a). Arrows indicate BrdU/DCX double-positive cells. Quantitative analysis of the number of BrdU/DCX double-positive cells in control and DSS-treated mice after administration of vehicle or EF-2001 (b). Bars represent means ± standard error of mean (SEM). **p < 0.01 vs. vehicle-treated water group. #p < 0.05 vs. vehicle-treated DSS group (n = 6–9 per group)Back to article page
