Results are expressed as colony-forming unit per gram (CFU/g) and are means ± SD; 𝑛=15 in each group. One-way analysis of variance was used for comparison of all groups. The difference between the groups by Scheffe’s post hoc test: (∗): 𝑃<0.05 versus IR-group; (∗∗): 𝑃<0.01 versus IR-group.
IR: ischemia-reperfusion; PC: postconditioning; MLN: mesenteric lymph node.
