Necropsies were performed on all rats. Brain tissues were fixed in 10% phosphate buffered formalin, embedded in paraffin, serially sectioned at 5 μm, and were stained with hematoxylin eosin (H&E) for histological examination. Streptavidin-HRP was used to target the biotin moiety of the anti-DMPO probe bound to macromolecular DMPO-trapped free radicals in excised rat brain tissues from the hippocampus region. Nova Red was used as the chromogen for HRP staining.
