(A) H&E stained lung sections of C57BL/6 mice. Mice, fed with PBS or DS for 15 days, received LPS intranasally (n=6 per group, bottom two panels). Similarly, mice, either fed with PBS or DS, were sham-treated with PBS (n=6 per group, top two panels). Data are representatives of at least five different areas of a lung (200X magnifications). (B) Infiltrates in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid were counted. DS treatment significantly reduced infiltrates, compared to LPS-treated (n=6, *** P< 0.005). Data represent the mean±SEM of three independent counting.
