Effects of Spirulina treatments on inflammatory cells in paracortical areas of mesenteric lymph nodes of mink progeny. A Spirulina diet in progeny (group C), mothers (group B) or both (group A) connected with decreased numbers of granulocytes (MPO), B-lymphocytes (PAX-5) and T-lymphocytes (CD3) in the mesenteric lymph nodes compared to the non-treated control group (group D). Morphometric counts of immunohistochemically labeled inflammatory cells showed statistically significant differences among experimental groups, as highlighted in the bar graphs. IHC: diaminobenzidine chromogen, hematoxylin counterstain. Scale bars: 50 μm. Numbers on the y-axes of bar graphs correspond to the means ± SEM of immune cell counts * p < 0.05, *** p < 0.001. Letters of the x-axes correspond to the experimental groups (A, B, C, D).
