Expression of galectin-1 protein in the gastric mucosa (a–c). (a) Expression of Gal-1 in normal mucosa (C) in the stroma (arrowhead). (b) Intense immunostaining was observed in intestinal metaplasia (IM) in the nucleus (arrow), cytoplasm (curved arrow), and stromal region (arrowhead). (c) Peripheral area of gastric ulcer (GU) with high expression in stroma (arrowhead) and epithelial cells (curved arrow and arrow). (d) Absence of immunoreactivity in the reaction control. Asterisk: goblet cell. Hematoxylin of Harris counterstain. Bar: 20 μm. (e) Densitometry analyses (mean ± SE). *P in relation to C (***P < 0.001). a.u.: arbitrary unit.
