Results are expressed as Mean ± Standard error. The statistical anlysis was performed using a Stundent t test. The variable considered was: treatment. On the basis of the final model, the hypotheses were rejected at an a-risk level of 0.05. Confidence intervals of estimations were fixed at 95%.
Figures 2 and 3 show, respectively, villus length and width of duodenum, jejunum and ileum of control and ligmed treated animals. The results obtained show an oral-aboral decrease in length in the two groups studied. No statistical differences were observed between control and treated animals, neither in length nor in width. Crypt depht was represented in figure 4. It could be observed that there is no statistical differences between the two groups studied, indeed, no hyperplasia as a sign of mucosal damage is detected. In Figure 5 it is presented the wall thicness. This parameter includes the most external layers of the intestine (muscular and serosa) which has no direct contact with the product, although they could be affected. As it could be observed, there is no significant variation in this variable in ligmed treated animals. Finally, villus linear density (Figure 6) and ratio C:V (Figure 7), also show no significant differences between the two groups studied.
In figures 8 and 9, are showed the aspect of jejunum in control (Figure 8) and ligmed treated animals (Figure 9). As it could be observed from the visual aspect of the mucosa, the jejunum of ligmend treated animals does no present any damage. This first appreciation has been confirmed with the measurements represented in the previous figures.
