Low Molecular Weight Fucoidan Inhibits Pulmonary Fibrosis In Vivo and In Vitro via Antioxidant Activity

Figure 2

(a) Masson staining was used to observe pulmonary fibrosis in mice; (b) hematoxylin and eosin staining to observe lung injury in mice; (c) Sirius red staining to observe collagen deposition in the lung of mice; (d) collagen distribution volume statistics using Masson staining images (calculated by Image J); (e) collagen distribution volume statistics for Sirius red staining images (calculated by Image J) ( and vs. the PF group; ^## vs. the Sham group); (f, e) Ashcroft score and the wet-to-dry ratio for each group ( and vs. the PF group; ^## vs. the Sham group); (h) Masson staining of lung tissues from mice injected with bleomycin at different time points.
