Crypt cell proliferation index. Proliferating cells in the ileal crypts were detected by BrdU immunohistochemical labelling; the index is the number of labelled cells per total cells in each half crypt, averaged from 5 or more crypts per animal, 𝑛=5 or more per group. Data: mean ± SEM, ^∗𝑃<.05 versus the group indicated, †𝑃<.05 versus similarly treated group under normoxic conditions. Comparisons by ANOVA.
