estinal Morphometeric Measurements: The entire
small intestinal tract was removed for histomorphological
examination. Two cm tissue samples of small intestine
were taken from upper (start point of organ), middle
(center point of organ) and lower (end point of organ)
parts of duodenum (from the gizzard outlet to the end of
the pancreatic loop), jejunum ( from the pancreatic loop to
Meckel’s diverticulum) and ileum (from Meckel’s
diverticulum to the ileo-caeco-colic junction ), according
to the method of Giannenas et al. [25].
