Histopathologic evaluations. (a) Histopathologic scores based on Macpherson and Pfeiffer scoring system for different groups (n = 6 rats in each group). Individual data points are presented, with the lines indicating median ± interquartile range (IQR). # indicates p < 0.05 compared to the Vehicle group. *, **, and *** denote p < 0.05, 0.01, 0.001, respectively, in comparison to Sham group. Statistical analysis was performed using the Kruskal–Wallis test followed by Dunn’s post-hoc test. Panels b–e show representative Hematoxylin and Eosin-stained ileal sections from groups treated with vehicle (b) and phosphatidylserine at 10 (c), 20 (d), and 40 (e) mg/kg under 1000 × magnification. Solid arrows show vacuolization and hollow arrows indicate infiltration of immune cells. PS: Phosphatidylserine.
