Statistical significance was determined using Student’s t-tests to compare differences between two groups N =10); Data are presented as the mean and SD.

VH, villus height; CD, crypt depth; VH:CD, villus height to crypt depth ratio.

Means in a row with different superscripts differ significantly (P < 0.05).

Means in a row with different superscripts differ significantly (P < 0.01).
