Fig. 4

Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images of jejunal and ileal mucosa in weaned piglets. Normal jejunal (A1, B1 and C1) and ileal (D1, E1 and F1) mucosa with cilia carpet and arranged microvilli. Brush border collapsed (white arrow), non-ciliated cells (green circle), cell loss (green circle) and many microvilli disappeared (green circle) were obvious found in the tissues of both jejunum and ileum among the piglets challenged with LPS. CON-saline (negative control), basal diet; LPS-LPS (positive control), basal diet; CTC-LPS, basal diet + CTC (75 mg/kg); and SYN-LPS, basal diet + synbiotic mixture of lactulose and Bacillus coagulans
