Serum amyloid A (SAA) was increased in glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2) piglets. Piglets delivered 12 days preterm were randomized to control (CON) or GLP-2 treatment and given total parenteral nutrition (TPN) for 2 days. On day 3, TPN was withdrawn and enteral feeds were initiated for 96 hours. Upon euthanasia, arterial plasma and intestine were collected for analysis. A, SAA was significantly increased in GLP-2 piglets compared with control, whereas (B) tissue myeloperoxidase (MPO) was low and not different between the groups in any intestinal segment measured. DI = distal ileum; PJ = proximal jejunum.
