Fig 6. Histomorphometric analysis of small intestine.

Fig 6

Mean values and standard deviations of VH (A) and CD (B) in intestinal sections, with comparisons among groups. Photomicrographs of small intestine (duodenum sections): Group C (C); Group EP-SRP (D); Group PROB (E); Group EP-SRP-PROB (F). Abbreviations and symbols: LC = crypt of Lieberkühn; VH = villous height; CD = crypt depth; black arrowhead = calciform cells; * = Significant difference (p<0.05) when compared with Groups C, EP-SRP and EP-SRP-PROB; † = Significant difference (p<0.05) between Groups EP-SRP and EP-SRP-PROB; ‡ = Significant difference (p<0.05) between Groups C and EP-SRP-PROB; § = Significant difference (p<0.05) between Groups C and EP-SRP. Scale bars: C-F = 50 μm. (Hematoxylin and Eosin stain).
