Myenteric neuronal morphometry in the small intestine of mice. Morphometric analyses of myosin-V-IR neuronal cell bodies areas, nNOS-IR cell bodies areas and VIP-IR varicosities between groups CON and OB in the duodenum (A-C), jejunum (D-F) and ileum (G-I). The HFD reduced the area of myosin-V-IR neuronal cell bodies (except in the duodenum), nNOS-IR cell bodies and VIP-IR varicosities in all segments of the small intestine. Results are expressed as mean ± SEM (n = 5); **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.0001 vs CON group in each intestinal segment; nonparametric test.
