Structure and Function of Enterocyte in Intrauterine Growth Retarded Pig Neonates

Figure 4

Lamin A/C expression in the middle part of the jejunum in NBW (a, c) and IUGR (b, d) and 7-day-old piglets in the apical part of the villi (a, b) and in crypts (c, d). Apoptosis in IUGRs is decreased in the apical part of the villi and increased in the crypt area as compared to NBW. Red fluorescence (Alexa Fluor 568)—lamin A/C expression; blue fluorescence (Hoechst 33342)—cell nuclei. Objective 100x.
