Popis: In this study, it was aimed to immunohistochemically evaluate the possible effect of probiotic supplementation on rats fed a high cholesterol diet on mast cell heterogeneity and density in the urinary bladder and on the expression of chymase, tryptase and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) cytokine in the urinary bladder. Three groups were formed in the study. For 8 weeks, Group 1 (control group) was fed regular rat diet. Food for Group 2 (feeding +2% cholesterol) (high cholestrol group) was provided for 8 weeks. For the last four weeks, Group 3 (%2 cholesterol + Lactobacillus acidophilus) (probiotic group) was administered L. acidophilus probiotics. Levels of total cholesterol (TC) was measured by using a spectrophotometric autoanalyzer. Serum TC levels were remarkably increased in group 2 compared to the group 1 (P
