Fig. 5

Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2)-like immunoreactivity in frontal cortex coronal sections of sham-operated and bilateral common carotid artery occlusion followed by reperfusion (BCCAO/R) rats pre-treated with either the vehicle alone (a-d) or betacaryophyllene (BCP) (e-h). Positive cell bodies are mostly distributed in the superficial cortical layers. b, d, f, h: detail at higher magnification of the microscopic field squared in a, c, e, g, respectively. Panels are representative of observations carried out in 6 rats for each group. Asterisks (*) point to blood vessels. m, molecular layer; wm; white matter. Scale bars: A, C, E, G = 50 μm; B, D, F, H = 25 μm
