Figure 3From: Inhibition of heat-induced apoptosis in rat small intestine and IEC-6 cells through the AKT signaling pathwayPhotomicrographs of hematoxylin and eosin-stained sections of control (A) and heat-treated (B) stressed groups. After treated by hyperthermia, the integrity of small intestine was damaged (jejunum), with desquamation at the top of the intestinal villi and exposure of the lamina propria(indicated by arrows).Back to article page
