Immunohistochemical localization of TNF-α in udder of rats fed different diets at different reproductive stages. The microphotograph from one rat with the positive primary TNF-α antibody was visualized with DAB reaction. The area positive for TNF-α in mammary tissues of rats fed the SO diet (B) or FO diet (C) at day 0 and14 of gestation was quantified by Easy Image 3000 software. TNF-α production is presented as the average percentage of the positively stained areas (A). Statistics are shown as means ± SE. Statistics with no common letters differ significantly (P < 0.05).
