Table 2: Kinetics of Chlamydia trachomatis shedding from genital tract of mice after active hexose correlated compound feeding for 14 daysa.

Treatment groups
Days after infection Stressed, AHCC-fed Stressed, PBS-fed Non-stressed, no-fed Non-stressed, AHCC-fed
Day 3 4.33 ± 0.04 5.62 ± 0.33 5.77 ± 0.33 5.11 ± 0.89
Day 18 1.19 ± 0.01 3.46 ± 0.76 3.21 ± 0.90 1.00 ± ±0
Day 42 - - - -

a values are mean +/- standard deviation of log10 inclusion forming unit/ milliliter representing combined results of two separate experiments (n = 5 to 6 mice per experiment). No significant statistical difference between experimental groups was not observed on Day 3, but significant statistical differences between AHCC-fed and PBS-fed groups were obtained on Day 18.
