Reduced mucus thickness in the mid colon of CS mice
(A) Images are of faecal pellet-containing mid colon preparations of sham and CS mice stained with Alcian Blue to measure the thickness of the mucus layer. (B) Two months of CS led to a reduction in mucus layer thickness, **P<0.001. (C) A near significant reduction (P=0.053) was observed in the mucus layer thickness after 6 months of CS.
