FIG. 4.
Finer-grained parameter sweep of maximum stress clearance capability (SCCmax) between 0.160 and 0.170 with full feedings, no bacteria, and no goblet cells (−Bact/−GC). A parameter sweep to the range of SCCmax corresponding to Letter A in Figure 3 was performed between SCCmax 0.160 (32%) and 0.170 (34%) at increments of 0.001. This was done to form a frame of reference between the −Bact/−GC conditions reflecting solely the effects of maximum feedings with subsequent addition of bacteria and goblet cells (see Figs. 5–7). There is a transition point with respect to the Necrosis (Nec) outcome between SCCmax 0.162 and 0.163. Apop=apoptosis. NGEC=neonatal gut epithelial cells.
