The effects of genistein on the villus morphology and apoptosis status of the ileum. (A) Representative photographs of the ileac appearance and cross section in chicken. (B) Comparison of ileum villus height between the 3 groups. (C) Comparison of ileum crypt depth between the 3 groups. (D) Comparison of ileum villus height/crypt depth between the 3 groups. Original magnification is 40×. (n = 8). (E) TUNEL assay of the ileac sections by immunofluorescence. Scale bar = 200 μm. a-cLetters represent significant differences (P < 0.05). Abbreviations: CON, nonchallenged broilers fed a basal diet; GEN, lipopolysaccharide-challenged group fed diet supplemented with 40 mg/kg genistein; LPS, LPS-challenged broilers fed a basal diet.
