Figure 1. Intestinal transit.

Figure 1

Rats were subjected to Sham surgery with and without IEN (Sham and Sham/IEN), acute elevation of SMV pressure and crystalloid resuscitation with and without IEN (Edema and Edema/IEN). Intestinal transit of tracer along intestinal segments was then measured as detailed in “Methods.” The mean geometric center (MGC) of tracer is presented. *P < 0.05 for Edema versus all other groups, using one-way ANOVA. n = 5-6.
