Results show the incidence of green fluorescent protein-expressing Escherichia coli isolated from the harvested tissue homogenates. The proportional comparisons of tissue cultures were made using the Chi-square test. (∗): 𝑃<0.05 versus IR-group; (∗∗): 𝑃<0.01 versus IR-group.
IR: ischemia-reperfusion; PC: postconditioning; MLN: mesenteric lymph node.
