From: Dietary supplementation with omega-3 fatty acid attenuates 5-fluorouracil induced mucositis in mice
Omega-3 fatty acid is able to maintain ileum mucosal architecture in mice with mucositis. a, b and c) Morphometrical analyses of the small intestine slices from the mice treated or not with the n-3-rich diet were performed using ImageJ software 24 h after mucosittis induction. d, e and f Morphomeric analyses after mucositis induction. a and b Villus mean height (μm), (b and e) Lieberkün crypt mean height (μm) and (c and e) ratio between villus and crypt mean heights. Different letters indicate statistical significance calculated by ANOVA (p < 0.05), n = 5
