From: Remifentanil ameliorates intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury
Effect of remifentanil preconditioning on lipid peroxidation in intestinal tissue after ischemia-reperfusion-induced injury or sham laparotomy. Tissue homogenates of mouse ileum post ischemia-reperfusion (IR) and sham-operated animals (Sham) were assayed for MDA content. All MDA values are normalized to the individual total protein (t.p.) content in the respective sample. Open bars, saline pretreatment; filled bars, remifentanil pretreatment. Bars show normalized concentrations (means ± s.e.m); *, P < 0.05 for saline vs remifentanil; ##, P < 0.01 for Sham (treatment groups combined) vs IR. n = 4 for saline and 6 for remifentanil (IR groups); n = 3 for saline and 4 for remifentanil (Sham groups).
