| Figure 2: MAG-DHA and MAG-EPA reduce mucus production in OVA-sensitized lung tissue. Lung tissue sections obtained from a non-sensitized guinea pig Control (A), as well as from OVA-sensitized (B), OVA-sensitized + MAG-DHA-treated (C) and OVA-sensitized + MAG-EPA-treated (D) animals were stained with Alcian blue. Mucus secretion and goblet cells containing mucus are stained in blue. Scale bar 40 µm. Images are representative of n = 8, 10, 11 and 8 (animals, experiments) per group, respectively (E): Quantitative analysis displaying the mean immuno-positive pixel area staining of Alcian blue from lung tissue sections (n = 8-10-11-8 per group, * P < 0.05). |
