Figure 1From: Inhibitory effects of astaxanthin on azoxymethane-induced colonic preneoplastic lesions in C57/BL/KsJ-db/dbmice Effects of astaxanthin on AOM-induced ACF and BCAC formation in experimental mice. (A) Representative morphology of ACF (arrows) induced by AOM, revealed by methylene blue staining in an AOM alone-injected mouse (left panel) and AOM + astaxanthin-treated mouse (right panel). (B) β-catenin immunohistochemistry of BCAC (broken line) that developed in an AOM alone-injected mouse (left panel) and AOM + astaxanthin-treated mouse (right panel).Back to article page
