Description

FEDER funds trough the COMPETE Program, and by national funds from Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology, under the project COMPETE: FCOMP-01-0124-FEDER-009525 Apoptosis plays a key role in intestinal injury, as response to ischemia. Furthermore, reperfusion exacerbates abnormal intestinal apoptosis. In this study, the apoptotic index (AI) in the small intestine after haemorrhage and volume replacement with Ringer´s solution was evaluated, in a pig model
