  • Mice were injected either once (four hour group) or daily for two days (48 hour group) with 5 μg of h[Gly2]GLP-2.

  • Values are mean (SEM); n is the number of tissues studied from six mice for h[Gly2]GLP-2 or 33 phosphate buffered saline (PBS) treated mice (control) (combined from all experiments).

  • 3-150 p<0.05,

  • 3-160 p<0.01 compared with PBS treated control mice.
