Morphology and analysis of the small intestine in Villin1-Tomato mice. (A) The whole images of small intestine and the cross section of (B) villi and (D) crypts. Width of (C) villus and (E) crypt major axis and minor axis, (F) villus length and crypt depth, and (G) intestinal epithelial cell (IEC) number per villus or crypt of each section in small intestine (n = 50 villi or 50 crypts in 5 mice). *P < 0.05 vs. S1, #P < 0.05 vs. S2, †P < 0.05 vs. S3, ‡P < 0.05 vs. S4. n.s. not significant.
