Myenteric neurons and intestinal mucosa of diabetic rats after ascorbic acid supplementation

Figure 1 Quantitative and morphometric neurons meyenteric stained of myosin-V analyses. A: Number of myenteric neurons myosin-V stained quantified in 11.2 mm² in the jejunum of rats from groups: ND, D and DA, mean ± SE (n = 5). ^bP < 0.001, vs the corresponding values in group ND; B: Means (μm²) of neuronal area of myosin-V-stained myenteric neurons in animals from groups: ND, D and DA, mean ± SE (n = 5). There were no significant differences when comparing the three groups by Kruskal-Wallis test; C: IMs (%) of animals from groups: ND, D and DA, mean ± SE (n = 5). There were no significative differences when comparing the three groups by test of Tukey; D: Villus height (μm) and crypt depth (μm) in the jejunal mucosa of animals from groups: ND, D and DA, mean ± SE (n = 5). There were no significant differences when comparing the three groups by test of Tukey.
