d-α-Tocopherol supplementation inhibited allergic inflammation in pups from allergic mothers that previously had basal diets and litters of allergic pups. A: schematic of timeline for 500 mg α-tocopherol/kg diet and OVA treatment of mothers and pups. B: saline or OVA-treated moms were on basal diet and had a litter of allergic pups (data in Fig. 1). Next, a group of these moms were switched at time of mating to 500 mg/kg diet for the second litter of pups. Lung lavage cells from pups were cytospun, and leukocytes were counted by standard morphological criteria. n = 12 Mice/group. *P < 0.05 compared with other groups for each cell type.
