FIGURE 7

Crypt depth was not different between control (CON) and glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2). Piglets delivered 12 days preterm were randomized to CON or GLP-2 treatment and given total parenteral nutrition (TPN) for 2 days. On day 3, TPN was withdrawn and enteral feeds were initiated for 96 hours. Upon euthanasia, intestine was collected for histology. Crypt depth (A) was not different in either proximal jejunum or distal ileum, whereas distal ileum muscle thickness (B) was significantly reduced in GLP-2 piglets compared with CON. Scale bar = 200 μm/L.
