P < 0.05, at least vs healthy.

P < 0.05, at least vs immediately after perforation.

P < 0.05, at least vs corresponding control at the time of the assessment.

Relative volume (healthy/perforation, healthy/perforation + therapy, %) of the brain, inferior caval vein, and superior mesenteric vein, and relative volume (control/treated, %) of the heart, azygos vein, in rats at 15 min and 60 min following stomach perforation. Saline (5 mL/kg) (control) or BPC 157 (10 μg/kg and 10 ng/kg) were given at 5 min after perforation.
