  • *Defined as increased mtUPR, ultrastructural abnormalities in IECs by TEM.

  • †Defined as altered lysozyme staining, less abundant secretory granules, and AB+ staining.

  • ‡Defined as enlarged, more abundant AB+ cells above the crypt base.

  • IEC, intestinal epithelial cell; mtPUR, mitochondrial unfolded protein response; N/D, not determined; Phb1iΔIEC, intestinal epithelial cell deletion of Phb1; TEM, transmission electron microscopy.
