Cerebral cortex under a 400 × light microscope after H-E staining. 24 h treatment of the HIBD results in insignificant glial cell swelling and karyopyknosis in combination with interstitial tissue edema, capillary contracture and blank zones around the capillary in H-E stained samples (a and b), which was improved by melatonin treatment (c). Furthermore, d showed the quantification analysis of the swollen glial cells in the total glial cells in the indicated groups.↗ represents cytotoxic edema, and â–² represents vasogenic edema
