Effect of annatto-extracted tocotrienols on immunohistochemical and TUNEL analysis of pancreatic tissue. Pancreatic tissue sections collected from mice fed LFD (A and F), HFD (B and G), and HFD supplemented with T400 (C and H), T1600 (D and I) or Met (E and J) were immunostained for insulin (AE) or glucagon (FJ) and counterstained with hematoxylin. Pancreatic tissue sections collected from mice fed LDF (K) or HFD (L) were analyzed for apoptosis by TUNEL assay (green color, K and L). Sections were counterstained with DAPI (blue color, K and L). Total numbers of apoptotic cells from LFD (grey bar) or HFD (black bar) groups (M) were shown. Data shown are means ± SEM (n = 4). Significant differences in means were determined by the unpaired Student t-test method at a P value of ≤0.05.
