This study used a Wiggers shock model to investigate the effect of the removal of the intestines on the outcome of hemorrhagic shock. ⋯ These experimental findings show that, in the absence of the intestines, hemorrhagic shock is associated with both an improved outcome and higher hepatic ATP levels in rats, suggesting the importance of intestinal participation in the process leading to hepatic ATP depletion as well as irreversibility in shock.
