After fixation in 4% paraformaldehyde for 24 h, the ilea were soaked through a graded series of ethanol and xylene, embedded in paraffin, and sectioned at 5 μm with a Lecia RM2235 microtome (Leica Biosystems Inc., Buffalo Grove, IL). The sections were deparaffinized with xylene and rehydrated through graded dilutions of ethanol and stained with hematoxylin and eosin. The images of ilea were acquired using an Olympus simon-01 microscope (Olympus Optical Co., Ltd., Beijing, China). The values of villus height and crypt depth were measured 5 times from different villus and crypts per section from each broiler using the Image-Pro Plus software 6.0 (Media Cybernetics, Inc., Washington, DC). The average value of the 5 villus and crypts represent the value of each ileum sample.

After fixation in 4% paraformaldehyde for 24 h, the jejunal sections were soaked through a graded series of ethanol and xylene and embedded in paraffin. The jejuna were sectioned at 5 μm with a Lecia RM2235 microtome (Leica Biosystems Inc., Buffalo Grove, IL). The sections were deparaffinized with xylene and rehydrated through a graded dilution of ethanol. Hematoxylin and eosin staining and Alcian blue-periodic acid Schiff staining were performed, respectively. The images of jejuna were acquired using an Olympus simon-01 microscope (Olympus Optical Co., Ltd., Beijing, China). The values of villus height (VH), crypt depth (CD), and the number of jejunal goblet cells were measured 5 times from different villus and crypts per section from each broiler using the Image-Pro Plus software 6.0 (Media Cybernetics, Inc., Rockville, MD).

After fixation in 4% paraformaldehyde for 24 h, the jejuna and ilea were soaked through a graded series of ethanol and xylene, embedded in paraffin, and sectioned at 5 μm with a Lecia RM2235 microtome (Leica Biosystems Inc., Buffalo Grove, USA). The sections were deparaffinized with xylene and rehydrated through graded dilutions of ethanol, and stained with hematoxylin and eosin. The images of jejuna and ilea were acquired using an Olympus simon-01 microscope (Olympus Optical Co., Ltd., Beijing, China). The values of villus height (VH) and crypt depth (CD) were measured 5 times from different villus and crypts per section from each broiler using the Image-Pro Plus software 6.0 (Media Cybernetics, Inc., Washington, USA). VCR was defined as villus height-to-crypt depth ratio.

Jejunal Histomorphometry in Broilers

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
With the broiler anesthetized, the abdominal cavity was opened and the jejunum was taken out and the midpoint was found. Approximately 1 cm of the middle jejunum was collected from the chickens 24 h after the last LPS injection at 29 days of age. After fixation in 4% paraformaldehyde for 24 h, the jejunal sections were soaked through a graded series of ethanol and xylene and embedded in paraffin. The jejunum was then sectioned at 5 mm with a Lecia RM2235 microtome (Leica Biosystems Inc., Buffalo Grove, IL, USA). The sections were deparaffinized with xylene and rehydrated through a graded dilution of ethanol. Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining. The jejunal villus height (VH) and crypt depth (CD) were measured according to the method described by Li [13 (link)], and the ratio of VH to CD was also determined. Briefly, eight intact intestinal villi with a straight direction were selected from each sample, and then the VH and CD were investigated. Villus height was defined as the distance from the villus tip to the crypt mouth, and crypt depth was the depth of the distance from the crypt mouth to the base.

Fixed intestinal samples were dehydrated using graded ethanol, and vitrificated by dimethylbenzene. Then samples were embedded in paraffin, sliced with a Lecia RM2235 microtome (Leica Biosystems Inc., Buffalo Grove, IL, USA), and stained by hematoxylin-eosin (HE). The villus height (VH) and crypt depth (CD) were measured using a microscope imaging system (DM 1000, Leica, Germany) and Image-Pro Plus software 6.0 (Media Cybernetics, Inc., Washington, DC, USA) to calculate the ratio of the villus height to the crypt depth (VH/CD).

The sections were deparaffinized with xylene and rehydrated through a graded dilution of ethanol. Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining and Alcian Blue-periodic acid Schiff (AB-PAS) staining were performed, respectively. The images were acquired using an Olympus microscope (Olympus Optical Co., Ltd., Beijing, China). The values of villus height (VH), crypt depth (CD), and the number of jejunal goblet cells were measured 6 times from different villus and crypts per section from each chicken using Image-Pro Plus software 6.0 (Media Cybernetics, Rockville, MD, USA). The data were analyzed using 8 sampled chickens per group (n = 8).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
