DAMTC mitigates TBI-induced apoptosis in the intestinal crypt epithelium and villus of mice. Effects of DAMTC on apoptosis in TBI mice was evaluated by TUNEL staining (brown) (counter-stain: methyl green). Micrographs show TUNEL staining of mouse small intestinal sections. Panels show representative images for naïve, DAMTC, TBI (7.6 Gy), and TBI + DAMTC groups at days (A) 3, (B) 7, (C) 14 and (D) 21 following TBI. Scale bar = 100 μm with an original magnification of x200. Enumeration of (E) apoptotic cells per five crypts and (F) apoptotic cells per villus (intestinal sections from ten animals were examined in each group; n = 10). All error bars indicate SEM. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001.
