Table 4. Number of inflammation sites observed in the H&E slides.
Values are the mean and standard deviations, and the p-values are from unpaired t-tests with Welch’s correction for uneven variances. All comparisons showed no significant differences (ns) between the LPS and control groups except for the lower-right and middle-left regions.
| LPS group (n = 7) | Control group (n = 4) | p-value | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upper right | 4.3 ± 2.3 | 3.3 ± 5.9 | 0.7535 (ns) |
| Upper left | 4.4 ± 4.0 | 0.8 ± 1.0 | 0.0526 (ns) |
| Middle right | 8.9 ± 6.0 | 3.0 ± 2.7 | 0.0540 (ns) |
| Middle left | 8.9 ± 7.1 | 1.3 ± 1.9 | 0.0297 |
| Lower right | 6.7 ± 5.6 | 1.0 ± 1.4 | 0.0369 |
| Lower left | 7.7 ± 3.4 | 3.0 ± 5.4 | 0.1808 (ns) |
