Effects of orally administered cholestenone on H. pylori-infected mice. (A) Treatment schedule used to test effects of cholestenone diet in C57BL/6 mice infected with H. pylori (SS1 strain). H. pylori was administrated orally a total of two times. (B) Copy numbers of the H. pylori αCgt gene present in 1 mg gastric mucosa. Boxes represent 25th to 75th percentile of copy numbers, and the horizontal line shows the median value. Whiskers represent 10th and 90th percentiles of copy numbers. Asterisk indicates a statistically significant difference (**P < 0.01). (C) Representative histopathology of the gastric mucosa of mice, with hematoxylin and eosin staining (Scale bar, 50 μm).
