Chronic Exposure to Androgenic-Anabolic Steroids Exacerbates Axonal Injury and Microgliosis in the CHIMERA Mouse Model of Repetitive Concussion
Fig 5
Chronic AAS treatment in mice exacerbates post-rTBI axonal injury.
Post-rTBI axonal damage was assessed with silver staining. Representative 40X-magnified images of corpus callosum, external capsule, septal-fimbrial area and optic tract of sham (left column) and VH- (middle column) and AAS-treated (right column) rTBI brains are depicted.
