A photomicrograph of GFAP immunohistochemically stained sections in the left hippocampus. Positive GFAP immunoreactivity in cytoplasm and processes of astrocytes (dotted arrows) of PL, ML, and OL in CA1&CA3 and in DOL, DML and GL of DG: [a–c control group, d–f hypothyroidism group, g–i recovery group and j–l thyroxine-treated group)]: a, j CA1, b, k CA3 and c, l SL of DG showing positive immunoreactivity. d, g CA1, e, h CA3 and f, i SL of DG showing widespread positive immunoreactivity. [Immunohistochemical stain for GFAP, × 400]. m Histogram showing the mean area percent values of GFAP immunopositive reaction in CA1, CA3 and DG: significant compared to group I (*), group II (#), and group III ($), (significant difference at P < 0.05)
