Figure 2

EA at ST36 ameliorates CLP-induced intestinal injury. (a) Ileums were harvested 36 h after CLP for histopathologic examination using H&E staining. Representative images from five animals per group were shown. (b) Semiquantitative analysis of histological samples of ileum showed that EA at ST36 significantly decreased CLP-induced intestinal injury. (c) Effects of EA on the concentration of D-Lactose in the serum. Data were presented as means ± SD () and , , and difference with sham or sepsis group.
