Rats Born to Mothers Treated with Dexamethasone 15 cH Present Changes in Modulation of Inflammatory Process
Figure 6
CD 163 positive monocytes and macrophages per slide (10 fields per slide), representing inflamed subcutaneous tissue of the carrageenan inoculated footpad from rats born to mothers treated with dexamethasone 15 cH (UHD) or water (CONT). Quantification was based on 4 categories of staining intensity: (a) negative monocytes; (b) irregular positivity of monocyte membranes; (c) intense cytoplasm positivity of monocytes; (d) intense cytoplasm positivity of macrophages. Columns represent mean. (#) negative/positive ratio, in relation to control; (*) Student’s t-test, in relation to control.
