From: The protective role of montelukast against intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats
Montelukast protects against apoptosis after intestinal IRI.
Representative photomicrographs illustrating apoptotic nuclei (TUNEL fluorescence staining) in the intestine of the sham group (A), model group (B) and study group ((C), montelukast, 2 mg/kg) (representative of four experiments, 100× magnifications). (D) Histogram of the AI in the ileum of rats. *P < 0.05. Rats after intestinal IRI showed many TUNEL-positive cells in the distal tips of villi in the small intestine (Fig. 3B, arrow denotes TUNEL-positive cell).
