Comparative effects of indomethacin, prostaglandin E1, and ibuprofen on bowel ischemia.

This study evaluates the effects of Indomethacin (IND), Prostaglandin E1 (PGE1), and Ibuprofen (IBP) in a bowel ischemia model. Laparotomy was performed in 80-gram rats (n = 260). Transient ischemia was induced by a one minute occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery.
