Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine if oral
administration of insulin would protect intestinal cell
damage in a hypoxia-induced experimental NEC model in
rats. Rats were subjected to hypoxia-reoxygenation and
then were returned to standard conditions, other were
treated with insulin. According to our results, oral insulin
does not prevent mild intestinal mucosal changes during
hypoxic injury in rats.
