Summary
In the present study we examined the effect of recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEPO) on intestinal malondialdehyde (MDA) as an index of lipid peroxidation, related to iron-catalysed free radical reaction and platelet-activating factor (PAF) synthesis in the experimental model of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC).
