Effect of probiotic V and Met unaided or in combination on histopathological modifications in inhibiting the ethanol-induced intestinal injury. (a) Gross examination of rat colon morphology (400x magnification). Microscopic images are as follows: (a) Control rats supplemented with maltodextrin (substituted isocalorically). (b) Ethanol-fed rats supplemented with increasing concentrations of ethanol. (c) Met: ethanol-fed rats supplemented with 75 mg/kg Met. (d) Probiotic V: ethanol-fed rats supplemented with probiotic V (10⁸ CFU/day). (e) Probiotic V and Met: ethanol-fed rats supplemented with a mixture of probiotic V (10⁸ CFU/day) and Met (75 mg/kg).
