Electron micrograph of pyramidal neurones a Control group showing normal pyramidal neurones. b Acrolein-treated group showing a shrunken and completely damaged neuron with an empty vacuolar structure (v), pyknotic nucleus, degraded chromatin, completely degenerated organelles, and NM deformation. c Quercetin nanoparticle-treated group showing normal pyramidal neurones. d Ameliorative group showing N with irregular NM and small cytoplasmic vacuoles. e) Protective group showing N with irregular NM, well-developed rER, spherical M, and PL. f Recovery group revealed a severely injured neuron with an empty vacuolar structure, NM deformation, and a pyknotic nucleus. (N, nucleus; NM, nuclear membrane; rER, rough endoplasmic reticulum; M, mitochondria; PL, primary lysosomes; V, vacuolar structure). X 10000
