(a) Number of hepatocytes per µm2 (b) hepatocytes area in µm2, (c) liver mass corrected by tibia length (g/cm), (d) collagen content (%) analyzed using CellProfiler 3.1.5 in control (C), control + probiotic (CP), diabetic (D) and diabetic + probiotic (DP) groups (n = 6–9/group). Data are from C57BL/6 STZ-induced diabetic mice, + /− Saccharomyces boulardii (0.5 × 108 colony-forming units, THT 500,101 strain, Probiotics and Starters Cultures, Belgium) for 8 weeks. A horizontal line inside the box indicates the median value of the samples within each group, and the upper and lower edges of the box indicate the quartiles. For (b,d) significance was determined by Kruskal–Wallis followed by Dunn’s test, and for (a,c) significance was determined by Two-way ANOVA followed by Tukey test for multiple comparisons of means (GraphPad Prism 6). + indicates mean value. **** p ≤ 0.0001.
