Histological structure of the sweat glands in mouse feet. (a) The histopathological structure of the sweat gland was observed in H&E-stained foot sections of EESJ-treated ICR mice at 100×, 200×, and 400× magnifications. (b) Size of the gland tubule and lumen in sweat glands was determined using the Leica Application Suite. Three to five mice per group were used to prepare the foot section, and the size of the gland tubule and lumen in sweat glands was counted in duplicate for each section. The data are reported as the means ± SD. compared with the vehicle-treated group. H & E, hematoxylin and eosin; EESJ, 70% ethanol extract of S. japonica.
