Sepsis-induced intestinal barrier dysfunction. (A) Intestinal tissue from the control and sepsis groups at 12 h after injection of LPS (haematoxylin and eosin staining); sections are representative of ten animals in each group. (B) DAO (a marker of intestinal permeability) concentrations in serum 12 h after administration of LPS. DAO concentrations are expressed as the mean ± SD. ***P < 0.001, control versus sepsis (n = 10).
