R22E treatment worsens insulitis in normoglycemic mice. Pancreas sections from nine control and six R22E-treated females normoglycemic at 30 wk of age (see Fig. 1 C) were scored blindly, all together at once, for insulitis severity. (A and B) Representative stainings used to identify insulin-producing islets (insulin/glucagon/Hoechst; A) and to score islets infiltration (hematoxylin and eosin; B). Bars, 100 µm. (C) Frequency of insulin-producing islets. (D) Frequency of infiltrated islets along a severity score (4 is most severe). ND, <50 islets detected.
