Figure 6. The ICC-MY network was partially protected following intestinal resection by genetic disruption of COX-2.
A–D, the ICC-MY network in muscle samples adjacent to (0–0.5 cm) and at 1.0, 3.0 and 5.0 cm oral to the site of anastomosis. Note that the ICC-MY network was more normal in appearance than in muscles of wild-type animals after intestinal resection (compare with Fig. 2). D, scale bar represents 50 μm, and applies to A–D.
