Structure and Function of Enterocyte in Intrauterine Growth Retarded Pig Neonates

Table 2

Histological analysis (mean ± standard deviation; , nm) of 7-day-old piglet intestine, NBW, and IUGR. Statistical studies were made by two-way ANOVA analysis of variances with Gaussian distributions. This assumption is tested using the method of Kolmogorov and Smirnov.
