Detail changes of the intestines in L. crocea under low temperature and during subsequent rewarming. (A–C) Intestines of individuals in the control, low temperature, and rewarming groups (×1000), respectively. The free surface of ACs in the small intestinal epithelium has a clear striped border composed of microvilli called the SB, which acts as a mechanical barrier (A). At low temperature, part of the microvilli fell off and the SB became blurred (B), resulting in increased permeability of the intestine. During the rewarming period, the SB was still partially shedding (C). Figure note: striated border (SB), the others were shown in Fig. 4.
