Figure 5. Dietary PUFA regulation of hepatocyte proliferation, and apoptosis.

Figure 5

The livers of mice fed ω-3 and ω-6 diets for 20 weeks were compared based on proliferation (Ki67) and apoptosis (TUNEL) by counting the number of positive cells per 10 microscopic fields per sample (n=3). The number of proliferating hepatocytes observed are shown in A and B. The number of TUNEL+ (apoptotic) nuclei (C and D) and apoptotic nuclei relative to total nuclei (C and E) observed in are shown. Images were taken at a magnification of 100× (A) and 630× (C) respectively [*=p<0.05].
