Figure 6. Enteral instillation of glucose or pyruvate protected against epithelial apoptosis in an energy‐independent manner in ischaemic gut.

Figure 6

Rats were subjected to sham operation as controls (CON) or mesenteric ischaemia (Isch). Isch rats were enterally instilled vehicle (veh), glucose (G), pyruvate (Pyr) or liposomal ATP (ATP) and epithelial apoptosis in intestinal tissues was measured using a TUNEL assay. The number of TUNEL‐positive epithelial cells per villus was determined. * P < 0.05 vs. respective CON, # P < 0.05 vs. ‘Isch + Veh’ (n = 6 per group).
