Figure 3

Histological study comparing the different experimental groups. Slices from small intestine of mice were studied after staining with hematoxilin-eosin. All the samples were obtained after 5 days of re-nutrition with a magnification of 100×. A) WC group B) MC group: the intestinal villi are short and their numbers are lower than in the WC group. The three re-nutrition dietary supplements: milk (C), PFM (D) and BFS (E) improved the histological alterations caused by malnutrition, being the mice that received PFM, the group that showed histological characteristics similar to the WC animals.
