Fig. 6 From: Hyperbaric oxygen treatment increases intestinal stem cell proliferation through the mTORC1/S6K1 signaling pathway in Mus musculusHBOT and rapamycin increase ISCs proliferation independently. A–D Representative immunohistochemistry images for proliferating cells, labeled by BrdU incorporation, in intestinal crypts for each experimental group. 20 days of treatment in each group. Nuclei labeled by hematoxylin counterstaining. Bar = 20 µm. Yellow dotted lines outline the crypt periphery. White arrowheads show BrdU + cells. E Quantification of BrdU + cells for each treatment. The same letters indicate no statistical significance while different letters indicate statistical significance. Permutation test. < 0.05. n = 5 per groupBack to article page
