Fig. 2. Top (2A): Hematoxylin & Eosin (H&E) staining of UV-irradiated mouse skin: (a) age-matched, normal mouse skin, (b) UV irradiated control mouse skin and (c) UV irradiated mouse skin given with isoflavones. (Scale bar = 30 µm.) Bottom (2B): Effects of UV irradiation on the epidermal thickness. The mice were UV-irradiated three times per week for four weeks as described in Materials and Methods. The epidermal thickness was measured on the H & E stained sections. The results are expressed as a mean ± SD of the thickness in µm. Values not sharing the same letter are significantly different, p < 0.05.
