How Microgravity Changes Galectin-3 in Thyroid Follicles
Figure 1
Effect of microgravity on HBME-1, MIB-1, CK19, and Galectin-3. (a) Marker detection in thyroid tissue by immunohistochemical staining. “Control,” mice maintained in vivarium cages; “microgravity,” experimental mice in space environment. (b) Ratio between the immunopositive surface and total surface of thyroid lobe. The values are expressed as median and range of two sections as reported in Material and Methods, 40x magnification. The arrows indicate positive areas.
