Effect of Ganoderma lucidum on immunoexpression of NF-kB in rat livers. (1) Representative microscopic pictures of liver sections immunostained using NF-kB antibody, showing negative nuclear staining score (0) in the control group (A and B) and GL group (C and D). Strong positive nuclear staining as indicated by intense brown color score (3) in CP group (E and F), moderate positive nuclear staining score (2) in i.p treated group (G and H), mild positive nuclear staining score (1) in EOD group (I and J), and very mild positive nuclear staining score ±1 in daily group (K and L). Black arrows point to positive nuclear staining. IHC counterstained with Mayer’s hematoxylin. X: 100 bar 100 (A, C, E, G, I, and K) and X: 400 bar 50 (B, D, F, H, J, and L). (2) Statistical analysis of IHC staining intensity scores in six experimental groups showing significant reduction in NF-kB in daily group when compared with CP group. Different small alphabetical letters means significant when P< 0.05. aSignificant against control group; bsignificant against GL group; csignificant against CP group; dsignificant against i.p group.
