Figure 9. Effects of butyrate on intestinal mucosal epithelial cell apoptosis after I/R.

Figure 9

Rats were subjected to total liver I/R injury or sham operation and pretreated with butyrate or vehicle. TUNEL staining was performed to detect intestinal mucosal epithelial cell apoptosis in the sham (A), vehicle (B), and butyrate (C) groups at 6 h after reperfusion (×200). The number of positive cells is presented as means ± SD (D), N = 3–5 rats per group. *P<0.05 vs. the sham group, #P<0.05 vs. the vehicle group.
