TABLE 5.
Villus heights and crypt depths in Tis7−/− and WT ileum before surgery and at 72 h after 50% intestinal resection (Expt. 4)1
| Villus height μm |
Crypt depth, μm |
|||
| Presurgery | Postsurgery | Presurgery | Postsurgery | |
| WT | 265 ± 17.4b | 421 ± 34.9a | 92.5 ± 3.92b | 115 ± 10.3a |
| Tis7−/− | 288 ± 21.9b | 354 ± 32.1b | 89.1 ± 4.21b | 103 ± 7.03a |

Values are means ± SEM, = 8 (Tis7−/−) or 6 (WT). For each variable, labeled means without a common letter differ, P < 0.05. There was a significant effect of surgery and genotype on villus height and of surgery on crypt depth, but no effect of genotype.
