Figure 1. Decreases in intestinal transit one day after burn injury.

Figure 1

Mice were gavaged with FITC-dextran one day after burn or sham injury. Three hours after FITC-dextran gavage stomach content, small intestine luminal content divided into three equal lengths (#1 being proximal to stomach and #3 being distal), and large intestine feces were collected and visualized spectrophotometrically for presence of FITC-dextran. Values are mean ± SEM of 6-8 animals per group. *, p<0.05 burn day 1 compared to sham by Student's t-test at each intestinal section.
