Rats were subjected to mesenteric I/R for 60 min, followed by 300 min of reperfusion. Glycine (15 mg/kg BW × h), sodium pyruvate (50 mg/kg BW × h), or resveratrol (40 µg/kg BW × h) were administered intravenously 30 min after the onset of reperfusion until the end of the observation period. Control animals (±I/R) received the same volume of 0.9% NaCl solution. Parameters were determined at the end of the reperfusion period. Values are means ± standard deviation (SD). (versus I/R control).
