ICC networks. Image stacks from (A) vehicle and (B) IL10 mice. (C) Network density scores. Means ± SD of scores for all fields; n = 5; *P < .05, t test. (D) Network volume from recording sites in antrum. (E) Count of independent connected structures after morphologic opening in reconstructed images. Data are for 75 fields from 5 mice in each group. *P = .026, t test. (F) Three-dimensional (3D) volume-rendered bitmap of the largest connected Kit-positive ICC networks in 2 fields with similar total Kit volumes. Note that most of the Kit-positive structures in the field from the IL10-treated mouse are connected into a single object.
