Changes in plasma fibrinogen and α2-MG concentration after instillation of whole gastric fluid. a Plasma levels of fibrinogen were not significantly different than in controls at 4 h. They increased at 12 h-24 h and returned to control values at 4d. b Plasma levels of α2-MG remained stable at 4 h, increased at 12 h, further increased reaching a peak at 24 h and decreased later on, but with still significantly high levels at 4d. Results are means ± 1SD; **: p < 0.01; ***: p < 0.001 with respect to control values; †: p < 0.05 with respect to the precedent time point value. C: controls; h: hours; d: days
