Effect of Ukrain on tissue caspase 3, serum Bcl-xL and iNOS concentrations of Laparotomy (L), mesenteric ischemia-reperfusion injury (I/R) and ukrain + mesenteric ischemia-reperfusion injury (U + I/R) groups

Groups	L (n = 8)	I/R (n = 8)	U + I/R (n = 8)	P
Caspase 3 (pg/mg-protein)	0.73±0.08a,b	2.30±0.09a,c	1.21±0.15b,c	0.000
Bcl-xL (pg/ml)	0.43±0.17a,b	0.19±0.01a,c	0.70±0.07b,c	0.001
iNOS (IU/ml)	3.06±0.30a	6.73±0.84a,b	3.55±0.45b	0.006

P: Shows the differences between all groups (Kruskal Wallis test).

^aIn each line, the difference between the means with same letters are significant, P≤0.05 (Mann-Whitney U test);

^bIn each line, the difference between the means with same letters are significant, P≤0.05 (Mann-Whitney U test);

^cIn each line, the difference between the means with same letters are significant, P≤0.05 (Mann-Whitney U test).
