Proliferating cells and parietal cells in proper gastric glands of FVB-CA-AhR and wild-type mice. (a) PCNA+ cells in the proper gastric gland of 9 wk. males revealed by HE staining (left panel) and immunohistochemistry (right panel). (b) Relative position and the number of PCNA+ cells in the proper gastric gland. (c) BrdU-incorporated cells in the proper gastric gland of 16 wk. males revealed by . immunohistochemistry. (d) Body in the proper gastric gland of 9 wk. males revealed by HE staining. (e) The number of parietal cells in the proper gastric gland. CA-AhR: FVB-CA-AhR. In graphs, blue and red asterisks denote significant strain difference with wild-type (WT) mice in male and female at the same age, respectively (Mann-Whitney-U test, *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01). Sharp denotes significant sex-related difference in the same strains at the same age (Mann-Whitney-U test, #: P < 0.05). Bars denote 200 μm (a and c) and 20 μm (d)
