A-C OCA preserves the intestinal mucosal wall integrity in intestinal IRI as shown by (A) Park-Chiu score; (B) villus-length; and (C) representative histological illustration for each group, Hematoxylin and Eosin staining, magnification: X200. OCA: obeticholic acid; TEER: trans-epithelial electrical resistance; FD20: fluorescein isothiocyanate-labelled dextran 20 kiloDalton; IRI: ischemia reperfusion injury; *: p<0.05; **: p<0.01; ***: p<0.001. D-F The protective effect of OCA on intestinal wall permeability is reflected by (D) its amelioration of TEER, (E) prevention of FD20 leakage; and (F) prevention of endotoxin translocation after intestinal IRI. OCA: obeticholic acid; TEER: trans-epithelial electrical resistance; FD20: fluorescein isothiocyanate-labelled dextran 20 kiloDalton; IRI: ischemia reperfusion injury; *: p<0.05; **: p<0.01; ***: p<0.001.
