Figure 2. Increased numbers of macrophages, T- and B-lymphocytes in livers from hypercholesterolemic pigs.

Figure 2

Immunohistochemical liver staining for macrophages (A, F, K, P), T-lymphocytes (B, G, L, Q), B-lymphocytes (C, H, M, R), plasma cells (D, I, N, S) and neutrophils (E, J, O, T). Infiltrating macrophages (A, F, P), T- (B, G, Q) and B-lymphocytes (C, H, R) but not plasma cells (D, I, S) and neutrophils (E, J, T) were significantly increased into the hepatic parenchyma of HCD-fed pigs compared with SD-fed pigs. The treatment of HCD-fed pigs with atorvastatin markedly reduced the amount of infiltrating macrophages (K, P) and T-lymphocytes (L, Q). (Magnification 40x). *P<0.05.
