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

Table 6

Gastrointestinal organ length of rats gavaged daily with 0.5 mL of Water, Olive Oil, or Emu Oil throughout the experimental period (days 0–12) and administered water or Indomethacin (Indo; 8 mg/kg) daily from day 5.
