Özet
Aim: The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of glutamine on adaptation process in short bowel syndrome (SBS) induced rats through small intestinal resection of varied length. Material and Method: A total of 35 rats were used in this study. Laparotomy alone was performed in group 1 rats (sham). Short bowel syndrome was induced by performing small intestinal resection of 65% in groups 2 and 3, and 85% in groups 4 and 5. Glutamine was orally administered at a dose of 2.5 g/kg/day in groups 3 and 5 for 21 days. The rats were followed-up in terms of weight, and small intestinal biopsies were taken at the end of the study. Results: Significant diarrhea and weight loss developed in SBS induced rats between days 1-6 (p<0.05). Weight gain after 18th day of glutamine administration was significantly higher in group 3 compared to groups 2 and 4. In terms of villus height, crypt depth, mucosal thickness and mitosis count, there was a significant difference between group 3 and other groups in which resection alone was performed (groups 2 and 4). Conclusions: In group 3 rats undergone less small bowel resection, we think that intestinal adaptation develops better in the remaining bowel due to the effect of glutamine.
