Figure 3

Representative immunofluorescent images showing the expression of AhR in AT-II cells in rats exposed to saline or CD with and without BNF. In A, B, C and D the AhR stained red, the nuclear area stained green, and the overlapping of the green area by red area produces yellow color representing localization of AhR in the nucleus. (A) An image of AhR and Cytox green from saline plus oil group. (B) An image of AhR and Cytox green from saline plus BNF group showing distinct localization of AhR in AT-II cell nucleus (yellow color). (C) An image of AhR and Cytox green from CD plus oil group. (D) An image of AhR and Cytox green from CD plus BNF group showing localization of AhR in AT-II cell nucleus (yellow color). Reference bar is 20 μm.
