Serum sPLA2 activity.
Intravenous parenteral nutrition (PN) and Intragastric parenteral nutrition (IG-PN) and complex enteral diet (CED) significantly suppress sPLA2 levels compared with Chow. Representative western blot detected bands at ~14 kDA confirm sPLA2-IIA protein concentration in 4 uL serum.
Values are means ± SD. *p<0.05 vs. Chow, †p<0.001 vs. CED.
