TEM of the ileum from neonatal rats. Normal cellular morphology was observed in the epithelial cells from control animals; many mitochondria with normal structure are present in the cytoplasm. In the NEC rats, epithelial cells show the presence of many autophagic compartments that contain partially degraded cytoplasmic material (black arrows). In contrast, TEM images from the animals treated with EGF show no presence autophagosomes.
