Ultrastructure image of transverse colon. a The ultrastructure of the crypt in the No, Urd-, Lop + Vehicle and Lop + Urd treated group was viewed by TEM at 4000× magnification. b The number of paneth cells, lipid droplets and goblet cells was measured using Leica Application Suite (Leica Microsystems, Switzerland). Five to six rats per group were assayed in triplicate by TEM analysis. The arrow indicates a lipid droplet distributed around the lumen of the crypt. Data represent the mean ± SD from three replicates. *, p < 0.05 compared to the No treated group. #, p < 0.05 compared to the Lop + Vehicle treated group. Lm, lumen of crypt; Gb, goblet cells; Pn, paneth cells
