Figure 2. Effect of FO intake on allergen-evoked eosinophil lung tissue infiltration of A/J mice.

Figure 2

Photomicrographs were taken of representative airways from (A) sensitized, saline-challenged (SC-SAL); (B) sensitized, ovalbumin-challenged (SC-OVA); (C) sensitized, saline-challenged with fish oil (FO-SAL) and (D) sensitized, ovalbumin-challenged with fish oil (FO-OVA). (E) Peribronchiolar eosinophil number was determined in lung sections by morphometric analyses. The analyses were performed 24 hours after the last challenge. Slides were stained with Sirius Red. Arrows indicate representative eosinophils. In the signaled cases, P<0.05 compared with the SC-SAL group (+) and the SC-OVA group (*) (one-way ANOVA and post-hoc Holm-Sidak test). Values are the means ± S.E.M. and are representative of 1 experiment (n=5 per group).
