Figure 7. GSPs blocked STZ-induced mitochondrial superoxide production and mitochondrial swelling. (A and B) Representative fluorescent staining of MitoSOX Red in the cerebral cortex and the hippocampus CA1 region of mice. (C and D) Quantification analysis showed changes of area occupied by fluorescent staining. (E) Comparison of the mitochondrial swelling among different groups. * P < 0.01 vs Sham; # P < 0.01 vs STZ, n=6.
