Intestinal barrier damage caused by trauma and lipopolysaccharide

Table 1 Concentrations of NO in blood plasma and in intesti-nal mucosa

Group	n	BP(µmol/L)	SIM(µmol/g)1
Control	8	38.63 ± 8.75b	39.19 ± 2.68
EN	10	103.39 ± 10.18	67.19 ± 6.67
PN	9	63.06 ± 23.33a	66.90 ± 6.25
Sep	8	113.33 ± 30.47	53.10 ± 2.16

Values are expressed as mean ± SE; BP, blood plasma; SIM, mucous membrane of small intestine;

^bP < 0.01 vs EN group and Sep group;

^aP < 0.05 vs Sep group:

¹There was no statistical significance in NO levels in mucous membrane of small intes-tine among groups; r = 0.485, P = 0.515, there was no correla-tion of NO concentration in mucous membrane with that in blood plasma.
