Effect of bovine lactoferrin (bLF) on CT-induced fluid accumulation in ileal loops.

<p>CT (1.5 µg) was added to the mouse ileal loop with bLF (10 mg/mL). Weigh/length ratios were calculated. A) bLF added before CT. Each loop was injected with 0.1 mL of sample solution (phosphate-buffered saline [PBS], 2 mg/loop bLF, PBS control) and 10 min later CT (1.5 µg) was added, B) bLF added together or at the same time with CT, and C) bLF added 10 min after CT. *, <i>p</i><.05; **, <i>p</i><.01 for the comparison of bLF group vs. CT groups, by Mann–Whitney U test.
