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

Table 2

The intestine injury scores for experimental groups.

Variables	Control	Ozone	IR	IR + Ozone
Jejunum	0 (0)^a,b	0 (0)^c,d	3 (1)^a,c,e	1 (0.5)^b,d,e
Ileum	0 (0)^a,b	0 (0)^c,d	4 (1)^a,c,e	1 (0.5)^b,d,e

Injury in intestinal mucosal tissues was graded semiquantitatively according to Chiu’s classification. The mean intestinal injury grade of Ozone + IR group significantly decreased in both jejunum and ileum compared to IR group. Data are expressed as mean. Rows that share the same superscripts are significantly different from each other ( for a, b, c, d, and for e).
