Early Enteral Nutrition Preserves Intestinal Barrier Function through Reducing the Formation of Neutrophil Extracellular Traps (NETs) in Critically Ill Surgical Patients

<div>Early enteral nutrition reduces the intestinal presence of NETs. (a) Representative images of double immunofluorescence staining of intestinal samples in critically ill patients for citrullinated histone H3 (citH3, green) and myeloperoxidase (MPO, red). (b) Double immunofluorescence staining for neutrophil elastase (NE, green) and myeloperoxidase (MPO, red). Colocalizations of citH3 and MPO or NE and MPO are indicative of NET structure.</div>
