Hippocampus protection from apoptosis by Baicalin in a LiCl-pilocarpine-induced rat status epilepticus model through autophagy activation

Table 1 Protective effect of Baicalin against neuron death in the hippocampal CA1 area following status epilepticus

Group	Neuron numbers (mean ± SD)
Control	129.0 ± 11.0
24 h post-SE	29.60 ± 6.603a
24 h post-SE + B100	41.70 ± 10.93b
24 h post-SE + B200	63.80 ± 11.73c

^aP < 0.01 compared with the control group.

^bP < 0.01 compared with the 24 h post-SE group.

^cP < 0.001 compared with the 24 h post-SE group.

Data are represented as mean ± SD (n = 6). Under a light microscope, the surviving neurons showed regular cell morphology and round nuclei. Neuron number is expressed as the number of surviving neurons/0.5-mm-long hippocampal CA1 subfield. SE: Status epilepticus.
