Intestinal mucus pH. Red phenol staining of (A) proximal colon of control and surgically stressed mice (30% hepatectomy), and (B) proximal colon of surgically stressed mice drinking 25 mM phosphate solution at pH 7.5 or pH 6.0. Experiments were performed in triplicate and representative images of the colon isolated and stained with 0.04% phenol red from 2 mice of each group are shown.
