Figure 2 Morphometric criteria to determine the effects of growth hormone on small intestine.
VH: The height of villus; LP: Lamina Propria; SM: Submucosa; ME: Muscularis externa; ET: Thickness of epithelium; CE: Crypt epithelial cell; GS: The size of goblet cell; GN: The number of goblet cells per villus. Height of the villi, epithelial thickness, and crypt epithelial cell number rats given GH were significantly increased (P < 0.01). The size and the number of goblet cells were also significantly increased (P < 0.05).
