Figure 8

Electron microscopic appearance of the ileal epithelium of a sham-operated rat ((a), (d)) in comparison with the ileal epithelium of the interposed ileum ((b), (c), and (e)). The samples were taken in the 3rd week after sham or IIP surgery. (b) and (c) show epithelial layers of the interposed ileum with different degrees of hyperplasia; (d) shows microvilli of an epithelial ileal cell from a sham-operated animal; (e) shows microvilli of the luminal cell layer of interposed ileum.
