Emu Oil Reduces Small Intestinal Inflammation in the Absence of Clinical Improvement in a Rat Model of Indomethacin-Induced Enteropathy

Figure 2

Overall functional status of small intestinal health in rats assessed utilizing the ¹³C sucrose breath test on day 12. Rats were gavaged daily with Water, Olive Oil, or Emu Oil (0.5 mL) throughout the experimental period and commenced daily gavage with water or Indomethacin (8 mg/kg) on day 5. Data are expressed as mean (% cumulative dose of ¹³C at 90 minutes; %CD90) ± standard error of the mean. *** indicates 𝑃<0.001 compared to Water + Water.
