Figure Lengend Snippet: 1 Macroscopic image of the small intestine in an 8 cm section, free of luminal contents (a: control, b: TPP, c: IND, d: IND + TPP). 2 View of the small intestine evaluated by opening the lumen. 3 Intestinal histopathology in control group and animals treated with TPP and IND, Hematoxylin and Eosin staining, × 10 magnification, magnification bar 100 µm (micron). A: Control group, normal intestine. B: TPP group, normal intestine. C: IND group, erosive and inflammatory findings in the intestine. D: TPP + IND group, erosive findings in the intestine, milder than the IND group. Findings shown with arrows; lu: intestinal lumen/the apical surface where the intestinal villi are located; e: erosion/superficial loss of epithelial tissue. 4 Total damage score of pathologic findings in groups belonging to histopathologic examination. TPP, thiamine pyrophosphate; IND, indomethacin
