Figure 2.
Histologic appearance of the lung 24 hours after burn and infection. Representative hematoxylin and eosin stained images are shown from gonad intact (A) and ovariectomized (B) mice. The images shown are at X1000 magnification with an arrow pointing to a neutrophil. There is no significant difference in the overall cellularity between gonad intact and OVX mice (30.7 ± 1.2% versus 32.0 ± 0.9%), but there was an increased number of neutrophils per high powered field in gonad intact mice compared to OVX mice (1.01 ± 0.10 neutrophils per high powered field versus 0.45 ± 0.08 neutrophils per high powered fields).
