Effects of Incremental Starvation on Gut Mucosa
Abstract
Starvation induces gut mucosal atrophy, but the effects of progressive dietary restriction are not defined. The study's purpose was to determine the effects of incremental starvation on gut epithelial cell turnover. After food intake of mice was determined, they were divided into five groups: control (ad libitum fed), 75% normal intake, 50% intake, 25% intake, and fasted. Mice were killed after 48 hours, and the proximal small bowel were …
