Neural precursor cells are decreased in the hippocampus of the delayed carbon monoxide encephalopathy rat model

Abstract The pathophysiology of delayed carbon monoxide (CO) encephalopathy remains unclear. In this study, the effects of CO exposure on the dentate gyrus (DG) were investigated in a Wistar rat model by histochemical and molecular methods. Model rats showed significant cognitive impairment in the p...
