Fibrosis score based on scanning of multiple non-overlapping fields of Masson's Trichrome stained sections of lung tissue harvested from animals exposed to clean air (sham) or cotton smoke. The clean air exposed animals in the sham group show no fibrotic changes. However, the animals in the vehicle treated control group show higher fibrotic changes (indicated by red pie) while the animals in the therapeutic esomeprazole (Esomeprazole-L) group show normalized levels of collagen (indicated by blue pie) compared to vehicle or high-dose (Esomeprazole-H) group. Two or three slides per group were scanned and the total number of non-overlapping fields counted is shown below each pie. The averaged fibrotic score is shown as bar graph in the lower panel (^*p < 0.05 vs. sham group).
