Immunohistochemistry for Ki67 in the dentate gyrus in the vehicle-treated (vehicle, a), garlic essential oil-treated (garlic oil, b) and chives essential oil-treated (chives oil, c) groups. Ki67-positive (+) nuclei are observed in the subgranular zone of dentate gyrus. Note that Ki67+ nuclei are abundant in the garlic essential oil-treated group, while in the chives essential oil-treated group, Ki67+ nuclei are few. GCL, granule cell layer; ML, molecular layer; PL, polymorphic layer. Scale bar = 50 μm. d Number of Ki67+ nuclei per section for each group (n = 5 per group; *p < 0.05, versus vehicle group). Data are presented as mean ± SEM
