(A, D and G) Histopathology analysis of colon samples, original magnification 10×; H&E staining. (A) naïve mice; (D) TNBS administration causes colon wall thickening and massive inflammatory infiltration in the lamina propria and mucosal erosions; (G) VSL#3 attenuates colon thickening and inflammatory infiltration of the mucosa and submucosa. (B,C,E,F,H and I) Histologic analysis of mesenteric adipose tissue, H&E staining. (B and C) Naïve mice, original magnification 10× and 20×; (E and F) TNBS group mice, original magnification 10× and 20×; (H and I) VSL#3 treated mice, original magnification 10× and 20x.
