Alterations of Prostanoid Expression and Intestinal Epithelial Barrier Functions in Ileus

Intestinal manipulation (IM) –induced inflammation could contribute to postoperative ileus (POI) pathophysiology via the modulation of prostanoid pathways. To identify the prostanoids involved, we aimed to characterize the profile of prostanoids and their synthesis enzyme expression in a murine model of POI and to determine w hether the altered prostanoids could contribute to POI.
