Fig 4. Extension of intestinal lesions in neonatal mice after LPS and DSS treatment.

Fig 4

(a) Representative histological sections of intestinal lesions (magnification 100x) after LPS and DSS treatment. Extensive lesions were only detected in DSS treated animals, affecting up to three adjacent intestinal loops of the formed snail. Evaluation (b) revealed significantly larger lesions after application of DSS compared to LPS treatment. (c) Histological sample illustrating the method of length measurement of intestinal lesions. In the central region, the jejunum is located (beginning arrow), the outer loops represent the ileum. The rectangle illustrates the area shown in (a), the arrow indicates the course of length measurement. ** p < 0.01.
