The antisecretory peptide AF-16 may modulate tissue edema but not inflammation in experimental peritonitis induced sepsis
Fig 4
Histology of intestine and mesenterium.
4A The mucosa is down at left and the serosa is at right. The serosa shows a rich fibrinopurulent exudate, consistent with peritonitis. Leukocytes between the smooth muscle layers also are visible (AF-16). 4B Mesenterium. Necrosis and intense inflammatory reaction in the fat and connective tissues, consistent with peritonitis (control).
