title: Thermal trauma and gastrointestinal function: III. Effect of hot- and cold-burn trauma on small intestinal weight and mucosal mass of mice.
abstract: The effect of hot- and cold-burn trauma on small intestinal mass in mice has been examined. Hot-burn but not cold-burn caused a significant reduction in the intestinal mass 24 hours after application of the trauma. These data may suggest that the alterations produced in the small intestine associated with hot-burn injury, are related, in part, to factors released from the skin.
