Effect of estrogen treatment on body weight, organ weight indices, and cell numbers in lymphoid organs from mice with DNCB-induced dermatitis. (A) The change in body weight during the experiment is shown. (B) On day 18, the weight of different organs was measured. The organ weight indices (left panel: spleen; right panel: thymus) were calculated using this formula: organ weight (mg)/body weight (g). (C) On day 18, the cell numbers of lymphoid organs were determined by a hemocytometer (left panel: spleen; middle panel: thymus; right panel: peripheral lymph nodes). Refer to Fig. 1 for the meaning of the group labels. n=6 for each group. **P<0.01 vs the group of mice treated with DNCB alone ‘M’.
