Abstract
Conclusion: The present rat intestinal ischemia reperfusion model not only induces organ injury indicated by the classical parameters such as plasma urea and ALAT activity, but also increased plasma IL-6 and ADMA and decreased lung GSH concentration in IR fasted rats. Pre-operative supplementation with the carbohydrate mixture significantly lowered the plasma urea, IL-6 and ADMA concentrations and maintained lung GSH concentration. This indicates that pre-operative carbohydrate supplementation reduces post-operative organ injury.
