Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>The primary endpoint in this study is inflammation (neutrophil influx,<br /><br>complement activation, interleukins, TNF-a, COX 1-2) and protease activity in<br /><br>tissue as well as in blood plasma. An important element of our study is the<br /><br>alteration in these variables after administration of a protease-inhibitor<br /><br>and/or MMP-inhibitor compared to a placebo.</p><br>
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>The secondary study parameter is intestinal cell damage, which will be<br /><br>evaluated by assessment of plasma levels of I-FABP, ILBP as well as tissue<br /><br>stainings for morphology, tight junctions, apoptosis, goblet cells, mucines,<br /><br>cell proliferation, I-FABP, L-FABP and SM22. An important element of our study<br /><br>is the alteration in these variables after administration of a<br /><br>protease-inhibitor and/or MMP-inhibitor compared to a placebo.</p><br>
