Figure Lengend Snippet: Examination of goblet cells by mucin staining. ( a – d ) The representative microphotographs of the periodic acid-Schiff (PAS)-stained ( a , b ) or the Alcian blue-stained ( c , d ) or small intestine in the control (Con) ( a , c ) and Si groups ( b , d ). Scale bar: 40 µm ( a – d ). ( e , f ) The measured results of number of goblet cells in the damaged area in the Alcian blue-stained ( e ) or the PAS-stained ( f ) small intestine. Bar chart indicates the mean values of Goblet cells per villi. White: Con group. Grey: Si group. Data are expressed as mean. Standard error of the mean (SEM) of three (Con) or five mice (Si) per group. * p < 0.05 versus Con group, determined by Student’s paired t -test.
