Metabolic syndrome attenuates ulcerative colitis: Correlation with interleukin-10 and galectin-3 expression

Figure 2 Pathohistological parameters of ulcerative colitis in patients with metabolic syndrome. A-G: Histological score was analyzed for chronic inflammatory infiltration, eosinophilic infiltration, neutrophilic infiltration, crypt destruction, erosion of the mucous membranes and architectural changes. Ulcerative colitis patients without metabolic syndrome (MetS) confirmed the presence of chronic inflammatory infiltration and eosinophilic infiltration in the injured colons (down left panel, 200 x). On the contrary, damage of colon tissue in patients with MetS was manifested by resolution of inflammation, less chronic inflammatory infiltration and eosinophilic infiltration in the colon (down right panel, 200 x).
