Overall, the present study for the first time revealed that intraintestinal administration of protease inhibitor UTI could reduce systemic inflammatory responses and multiple organ dysfunction in rats with sepsis by inhibiting autodigestion of intestinal wall due to proteases and provided new research ideas and experimental evidences for treatment of sepsis by intraintestinal administration of UTI.
