Intestinal Fluid sPLA2 activity.
Intravenous parenteral nutrition (PN) and Intragastric parenteral nutrition (IG-PN) and complex enteral diet (CED) significantly suppress sPLA2 levels compared with Chow. PN sPLA2 activity was significantly less than CED and IG-PN. Representative western blot detected bands at ~14 kDA confirm sPLA2-IIA protein concentration in 10 ug total tissue protein.
Values are means ± SD. *p<0.001 vs. Chow, †p<0.002 vs. PN.
