Effect of resveratrol on goblet cell population in the crypt and villi regions of the intestine in HFD-fed rats. (A,E) Control group: normal goblet cell population observed in intestinal sections. (B,F) Resveratrol-treated control group: no change in goblet cell population observed. (C,G) High-fat diet (HFD) group: reduced goblet cell population observed in intestinal sections from both regions. (D,H) HFD with resveratrol treatment: restoration of goblet cell population observed in intestinal sections. Images were taken at 40x magnification. Scale bar in A-H 100 μm. (I,J) Mean data for the number of goblet cells per crypt and villus. * p < 0.05 vs. Control, # p < 0.05 vs. HFD.
