Increased number of MPO⁺ cells in the upper part of the villi 7 d after HI. Representative intestinal sections of (A) control and (B) HI animals were stained by immunohistochemistry for MPO. For each experimental group, MPO⁺ cells (arrows) in the upper part of the villi were counted, and the mean cell counts per power field per animal are given (C). The scale bar in panels A and B represents 100 µm. The scale bar in insets represents 50 µm. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01.
