(A) Males rats subjected to T/HS had a significant reduction in their intestinal mucus layer coverage but no change in goblet cell numbers. **p < 0.01 versus male T/SS groups. Data are expressed as mean ± SD (n = 4–6 rats/group). (B) Representative photomicrographs of terminal ileum 3 hours after reperfusion (100×) showing loss of the mucus layer in the T/HS group.
