Background Intestinal fatty acid-binding protein (I-FABP) is a low-molecular-mass (15 kDa)
cytosolic protein found exclusively in the epithelial cells of the small bowel mucosa. We …

Acute mesenteric ischemia is defined as an inadequate blood supply to the gastrointestinal
tract resulting in ischemic and inflammatory injury that may progress to necrosis of the bowel …
