Figure 4. . Colonic delivery of vasoactive intestinal peptide in sterically stabilized micelles nanomedicine rescued mice from dextran sulfate sodium induced goblet cell loss.

Figure 4. 

(A) Representative micrographs and (B) graphical representation of distal colonic tissues stained with PAS stain showing goblet cells (indicated with arrow heads). Data represented as mean ± SEM, n = 6.

**p < 0.005; ****p < 0.0001 versus control; ####p < 0.0001 versus DSS, ap < 0.05 DSS-VIP-SSM versus DSS-VIP.

DSS: Dextran sulfate sodium; PAS: Periodic acid Schiff; VIP-SSM: Vasoactive intestinal peptide in sterically stabilized micelles.
