Prophylactic Ozone Administration Reduces Intestinal Mucosa Injury Induced by Intestinal Ischemia-Reperfusion in the Rat

Figure 2

Effect of ischemia reperfusion and ozone pretreatment to ischemia reperfusion in jejunum and ileum (stained with hematoxylin-eosin, magnification ×200). Desquamation of the epithelium and denuded villi (asteriks) in both jejenum (a) and ileum (b) of IR group. Shortened and thick villi in both jejenum (c) and ileum (d) of ozone pretreated IR group. A less marked subepithelial space (arrow) at the villus tip in ileum.
