Figure 3

Histological sections of colonic anastomosis (H and E×4) ({indicates zone of inflammation, arrows; indicate zones of epithelial and muscular bridging}). Anastomotic healing scores in normoxic and hypoxic animals: treated with GLP-2, GLP-2 mimetibody (MMB) and controls. Rating scale 0–9, with 0 indicating perfect healing [5]. data: mean ± SEM; 𝑛=7 or more per group.
