Pretreatment with hydatid LL protects colonic goblet cells in DSS-induced colitis. A, Representative photomicrographs of Alcian blue stained colonic tissue. (a) CTRL group: normal crypts and important mucus secretion, (b) DSS group: total depletion of goblet cells accompanied by the absence of mucus, (c) LL + DSS group: normal crypts and secretion of mucus by the goblet cells. (d) LL group: normal crypts, presence of a number of goblet cells secreting mucus. B, Changes in goblet cells number. All results are expressed as the mean ± standard error of the mean. p values from LSD post-hoc ANOVA test are indicated (***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001). GC: Goblet Cells.
