Time-related Evidence of Intestinal Oxidative Stress in Obstructive Jaundice-Induced Rats

Conclusion: Bile duct ligation in rats causes OS versus post ligation time progression of the common bile duct. OS was increased by ~50% compared to control/sham and peaked at 7 days and at least up to 14-day post-ligation. This phenomenon was accompanied with a deranging of liver function after ligation, as anticipated, but not in all measured parameters; biochemical and endotoxin levels followed the same pattern.
