Perfusion-related changes in intestinal diffusion detected by NMR-MOUSE® monitoring in minipigs
Objective The aim was to investigate perfusion-related changes in the intestinal diffusion assessed by NMR-MOUSE monitoring in minipigs. This was a follow-up study of previous experiments on landrace pigs demonstrating the feasibility of NMR-MOUSE monitoring in large animals. Methods 5 mature female minipigs (mean body weight 50 ± 2 kg) underwent laparotomy with exposition of several small intestinal loops and their feeding vessels. …
