Phasic study of intestinal homeostasis disruption in experimental intestinal obstruction

Figure 2 Intestinal obstruction alters intestinal epithelial cells. A: Number; B: Diameter; and D: Area of goblet cells (GCs) in obstructed ileum; C: Periodic acid-Schiff-stained intestinal tissue sections from (I) non-operated controls, (II) sham-operated controls and at (III) 1 h, (IV) 6 h, (V) 12 h, (VI) 24 h, (VII) 48 h and (VIII) 72 h after obstruction; E: Ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity in intestinal tissues; F: Level of citrulline in serum; G: Claudin 1 gene expression.
