文摘Dear Editor:We would like to show"changes in intestinal lengths of 129 S2/SvPasCrl mice from adulthood to agedness".The intestine functions not only in digestion,absorption and excretion,but also in the regulation of central nervous system through its microbiota so as called gut-brain axis[1].As a tubular organ,the intestinal length is regarded as a significant morphological characteristic,which directly affects digestion and absorption[2].Thus,clarifying changes in intestinal lengths at different ages is beneficial to understand the functions of the digestive system as well as the aging process.
