Cellular and molecular changes and immune response in the intestinal mucosa during Trichinella spiralis early infection in rats

Table 1 Cell phenotype in the intestinal lamina propria during the early phase of T. spiralis infection

Notes: Results are expressed as mean of number (no.) of positive cells/VCU ± SD (n = 5/dpi and n = 5, control) at a 400× magnification. Data were analysed by the negative binomial distribution followed by Tukey’s multiple comparisons test (MASS and multcomp packages, respectively). Significant differences between infected and control rats: P < 0.05: a vs b; P < 0.001: d vs c; P = 0.008: e vs f; P = 0.014: g vs h
