FIGURE 4

Intestinal absorptive area of gh-transgenic zebrafish (D. rerio). Intestinal length (A), intestinal mass (B), and enterosomatic index (ESI) (C) were significantly increased in response to GH excess in transgenic zebrafish compared to non-transgenic full siblings. Data are shown as means ± SE of 37 fish per group. Gh-transgenic zebrafish show a significantly enhancement of villus height (D), villus width (E), and length of enterocyte (F) with respect to the control. Differences in all intestinal parameters between the two groups were determined using a two-tailed t-test. Data are shown as mean ± SE of 18 fish per group. Asterisks indicate significant differences (*p < 0.05; ***p < 0.001; and ****p < 0.0001). NT, non-transgenic; T, transgenic.
