Effects of DEX administration on (A) TNF-α, (B) IL-6, (C) Bax and (D) Bcl-2 content in the small intestine. Data are expressed as the mean ± standard error (n=10). #P<0.05, ##P<0.01 vs. the sham group and *P<0.05 vs. the IR group. No significant difference was observed between the sham and DEX groups. DEX, dexmedetomidine; TNF-α, tumor necrosis factor-α; IL-6, interleukin-6; IR, ischemia-reperfusion.
