Intestinal gross anatomy and histology in 6 month old bGH mice (red) and littermate controls (gray). A. Intestinal length of the small and large intestines. *P < 0.001 (Cohen d = 2.61 and 3.21, respectively). B. Intestinal weight of the small and large intestines *P < 0.001 (Cohen d = 4.4 and 7.19, respectively). C. Intestinal circumference in jejunum (SI) (Cohen d = 1.17) and colon (LI) (Cohen d = 1.01). D-F: Duodenum, jejunum, ileum morphology (i.e., villus height, crypt depth, and muscle thickness) in bGH mice and controls. D. The bGH mice have significantly increased villus height and crypt depth in the duodenum. *P < 0.001 and P = 0.002, respectively (Cohen d = 5.44 and 5.05, respectively). E. Villus height in the jejunum of bGH mice are significantly increased. *P = 0.02 (Cohen d = 2.62). G. Colon morphology. H-I: Small intestinal histology in bGH mice and controls. H. Control duodenum. I. bGH duodenum. J. Control ileum. K. bGH ileum.
