Lentinan Attenuates Damage of the Small Intestinal Mucosa, Liver, and Lung in Mice with Gut-Origin Sepsis

Figure 5

Lentinan inhibits the apoptosis of intestinal epithelial cells and decreases the expression of NF-κB. (a) The expression of caspase-3 was detected by IHC in the small intestine of mice. (b) IHC assay of NF-κB in the small intestine of mice. (c, d) Quantitative results of caspase-3 and NF-κB. vs. sham group. ^# and ^## vs. CLP group. IOD: integrated optical density.
