Histological and histomorphometry evaluation of the hippocampal section (CA3) pyramidal neuron using H&E, 400X. DEN Diethylnitrosamine, DPDS Diphenyl diselenide, PL pyramidal layer. The hippocampal section shows normal neurons (black arrows) and hippocampal pyknotic, necrotic and degenerated neurons (red arrows). Values are expressed as mean ± SEM (n = 5). *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 compared to control and DEN-only group
