The data represent means ± s.e.m. from three independent experiments. Student’s t-test was used for statistical analysis. A P value of < 0.05 was considered significant (*). N=10 pups for each group. b: Comparison of control and NEC intestines in situ at the end of the experiments. The NEC intestine showed the swollen and discolored appearance. c: The control and NEC intestines after removal from the body.
