The selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor parecoxib markedly improves the ability of the duodenum to regulate luminal hypertonicity in anaesthetized rats

摘要

To examine whether the prevention of post-operative duodenal ileus by treatment with parecoxib, a selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor, affects the ability of the duodenum to respond to luminal hypertonicity.
