Fig. 6. Effect of anti-neutrophil antiserum on intestinal permeability at 24 h after EtOH intoxication and 12.5% TBSA burn injury.
Animals were treated with rabbit anti-rat neutrophil antiserum (0.3 mL diluted in 1 mL of physiological saline) intraperitoneally approximately 16 h before EtOH and burn injury. Intestinal permeability was determined by monitoring the transfer of FITC-Dextran from the isolated intestine segment to blood drawn at 90 min after FITC infusion into isolated intestine segment. Values are mean ± SE from six animals in each group except the anti-neutrophil-treated group that has four animals. *P < 0.05 vs. sham + saline; †P < 0.05 vs. other groups.
