The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of oral insulin in preventing mucosal damage caused by LPS endotoxemia in a rat model, including its effect on enterocyte proliferation and death via apoptosis, and to determine whether alterations in Toll-like receptor 4-mediated signaling may occur during LPS endotoxemia and insulin administration. Oral insulin increases the stimulating effect of LPS on Toll-like receptor 4 expression in the proximal intestine, suggesting that TLR4 is not the mediator of injury in this model. ./cache/cord-006570-v4as5gde.txt ./txt/cord-006570-v4as5gde.txt
