Fig 3. Prenatal treatment decreases proliferation and increases apoptosis in small intestine.

Fig 3

(A) Proliferation was assessed by BrdU staining. (B) Proliferation rate is decreased within the crypts in iuGC rats, n = 3, 4, 5 CTR and n = 3, 6, 3 iuGC. (C) Apoptosis rate was assessed by TUNEL assay. (D) Apoptosis is increased in iuGC rats (mostly within the submucosa and mucosa layers), n = 6, 3, 5 CTR and n = 5, 3, 6 iuGC. iuGC, in utero glucocorticoid exposed animals.** P <0.01, *** P <0.001. Scale bars: 500 μm.
