The activation of Iba-1-positive cells co-labeled with CD11b were found in aged rats. a Representative Iba-1-positive cells co-labeled with CD11b in the spinal tissue. b Quantification showed that the aged rats had a relatively large number of Iba-1-positive cells co-labeled with CD11b in the spinal tissue than in the adult rats. However, the number of Iba-1-positive cells co-labeled with CD11b had no change in the GDNF-treated rats. The total number of Iba-1-positive cells co-labeled with CD11b was expressed as the mean number per field of view. Values are shown as mean ± SD (n = 10, *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01). Bar = 40 μm
