Alterations of intestinal mucosa structure and barrier function following traumatic brain injury in rats

Figure 10 Significant increase of L/M ratio at 12 h, 24 h and 72 h following TBI compared with control and significant decline on day 7 compared with group at 72 h. The L/M ratio on day 7 was still significantly higher than that at 12 h and 24 h. ^bP < 0.01 vs control, ^dP < 0.01 vs 12 h and 24 h, ^eP < 0.01 vs 7 d. Mean ± SD of six animals, control: 0.0172 ± 0.0009, 12 h: 0.0303 ± 0.0013, 24 h: 0.0354 ± 0.0025,72 h: 0.0736 ± 0.0105, 7 d: 0.0588 ± 0.0083.
