Photomicrographs of H&E-, PAS-, and TNFR2-stained sections of developing skin at E14. The skin consists of the epidermis (Ep), hair follicles primordium (FP), and dermis. The control skin showed positive carbohydrates in the basement membrane of the FP (b) and TNFR2 expression in the dermis (c). The skin of GA3-treated embryos showed a thin Ep with poor development of FP, decrease carbohydrate content, and downregulation of TNFR2 expression. The skin of olive oil-treated embryos showed similar structure to the control (g, h) but an increase of TNFR2 expression was observed (i). Improvement in the histopathological changes was noted in the skin of GA3-olive oil-treated embryos (j–l). Scale bar (a–l) = 10 μm
