Özet

Background: Necrotizing enterocolitis is a devastating intestinal disease of premature infants. Although activated protein C (APC) is well defined as a physiologic anticoagulant, emerging data suggest that it also has cytoprotective, antiinflammatory, and antiapoptotic properties. There is no study on active protein C administration for necrotizing enterocolitis in animal models.
