MCC950 affected the levels of ALT/AST, liver granuloma and body weight of infected mice. a Gross appearance of the liver and spleen from all mice. b Liver and spleen indexes, and spleen length. c MCC950 affected the serum transaminases (ALT/AST) levels of infected mice. d Liver tissues were fixed and stained with HE. Arrows indicate granulomatous lesions and arrowheads indicate schistosome eggs. The quantitative analyses were conducted under phase contrast microscope. e Dynamic curves of the body weights from different group mice. #, dP < 0.05, **,&&P < 0.01vs 0W; fP < 0.05, eeP < 0.01, bbbP < 0.001 vs 5W; cP < 0.05, ccP < 0.01, cccP < 0.001. Data were mean ± SEM of 6 mice/group. (b-d) ***,###P < 0.001 vs N; aaP < 0.01, bbbP < 0.001 vs SJ; &&P < 0.01, &&&P < 0.001 vs M4. Abbreviations: N, control group; SJ, infected group; NS, no statistical significance. Scale-bars: d, 100 μm
