Shows slides of cerebral cortex comparing the expression levels of COX-2, P53, Caspase-3, and Bcl-2 proteins in male Wistar rats treated with KBrO3 (B) plus AEAC (D and E) or quercetin (C). The group adminsistered KBrO3 (B) only shows more expression (browner staining) of COX-2, p53, Caspase-3, and Bcl-2 proteins relative to the control group (A). The control group and those administered the extract (D and E) and quercetin (C) only showed insignificant expression (lesser brown staining) of the proteins. There is little or no expression of these proteins in the group treated with KBrO3 and AEAC or quercetin (F, G, and H).
