Figure 2. LGG reduces chemically induced intestinal epithelial apoptosis in the developing murine gut.

Figure 2

A, TUNEL staining of small intestines collected from 2 week-old mice prefed DMEM with (3) or without (1) LGG alone, or stimulated with STS ex vivo after prefeeding DMEM with (4) or without (2) LGG. Apoptotic cells noted by fluorescent green nuclei such as those circled (2). B, Average number (mean ± SD) of TUNEL positive intestinal epithelial cells per 10 HPFs per treatment condition as indicated (n=3 experiments). *P < 0.05 as compared to DMEM prefed, STS stimulated intestines (bar 2).
