Specimens obtained during ischemia-reperfusion were further analyzed by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Mesenteric ischemia-reperfusion injury markedly affects the gut because ICAM-1 mRNA was upregulated 60-fold in the gut, 15-fold in the liver, and 5-fold in the lung and kidney. Data are displayed as the standardized ratio to controls.
