In order to evaluate the effect of hydrocortisone on apoptosis in the jejunum of horses subjected to ischemia and reperfusion, ten horses were paired and grouped into two groups - treated (n=5) and non treated (n=5). Segments of the jejunum were used as controls (C), or as venous ischemia (VIsc), wh...
