Effects of lactulose and hydrogen-rich water on the percentage of apoptosis intestinal epithelial cells by the TUNEL assay in female piglets fed Fusarium mycotoxin-contaminated diet. a Representative TUNEL stained paraffin sections from the duodenum (a1–4), jejunum (a5–8), and ileum (a9–12) tissue (original magnification, 400×). b Effects of lactulose and hydrogen-rich water on the percentage of small intestine apoptosis ratio in piglets fed Fusarium mycotoxin-contaminated diet. Each column represents the mean values (n = 5), with their standard deviation (SD) represented by vertical bars. Letters above the bars not sharing the same lower (P < 0.05) or upper (P < 0.01) case superscript letters are significantly different. NC = basal diet; MC = Fusarium mycotoxin-contaminated diet; MC + HRW = Fusarium mycotoxin-contaminated diet with hydrogen-rich water treatment; MC + LAC = Fusarium mycotoxin-contaminated diet with lactulose treatment
