Analysis of the Lieberkuhn glands. Size of Paneth cells (A) and number of cells in mitosis (B) at the small intestinal crypts of the experimental groups. Data are shown as average ± SD, from two independent experiments (N = 8 mice per group). Statistically significant differences among treatments by the Dunn’s multiple comparison test (p < 0.05) were indicated by different lowercase letters (“a” or “b”) above the error bars. (NC) negative control group; (Bov) mice treated with bovicin HC5; (PC) positive control group.
