Protective Effect of Electroacupuncture on the Barrier Function of Intestinal Injury in Endotoxemia through HO-1/PINK1 Pathway-Mediated Mitochondrial Dynamics Regulation

Figure 7

The change in the ultrastructure of the mitochondria in the small intestine epithelial cells. Electron microscopy images of the mitochondria in small intestine epithelial tissues from the control group (the mice were injected with normal saline instead of LPS), LPS group (the mouse intestinal injury model of ET), LPS + EA + AP group (the mouse intestinal injury model of ET treated by EA on AP), LPS + EA + AP + ZnPP group (the LPS + EA + AP group was injected with ZnPP), and LPS + EA + AP + hemin group (the LPS+ EA + AP group was injected with hemin). LPS: lipopolysaccharide, EA: electroacupuncture, AP: acupoint, ET: endotoxemia, and Znpp: zinc protoporphyrin IX.
