Glucagonlike Peptide 2 Protects Intestinal Barrier in Severe Acute Pancreatitis Through Regulating Intestinal Epithelial Cell Proliferation and Apoptosis

Abstract

Results from this study suggest that GLP-2 has a protective effect on intestinal barrier dysfunction in rats with severe acute pancreatitis via mechanisms closely involving promotion of cell growth and inhibition of intestinal epithelial cell apoptosis.
