Effects of maternal heat stress on the length and morphology of the fetal intestine. (A) Anatomical structure of the fetal intestine; (B) length of the fetal intestine normalized to pub weight (IUTN, n = 11; IUHS, n = 8); (C–E) HE histology (left) and quantification of villus height (right) in the fetal duodenum (C), jejunum (D), and ileum (E). IUTN: in utero TN group; IUHS: in utero HS group; n = 7. Scale bar: 100 μM. Data are presented as mean ± SEM. *p < 0.05.
