Suppression of Dextran Sulfate Sodium-Induced Colitis in Mice by Radon Inhalation

Figure 3

Loss of goblet cells in the colon after colitis induction. (a) Control, (b) radon inhalation only, (c) sham inhalation with DSS administration, and (d) radon inhalation with DSS administration. All samples were stained with alcian blue. Arrow indicates alcian blue-positive goblet cells. Scale bar is 100 μm ( ). (e) Larger number of goblet cells in mice treated with radon inhalation than in mice treated with sham inhalation. Each value is the mean ± SEM. The number of mice for each experiment and significance are the same as in Figure 1.
