Here, we examined the GI-protective effects of apraglutide, a long-acting peptide GLP-2 analog, in murine models of chemotherapy, and total body irradiation followed by allogeneic transplantation.
MATERIAL AND METHODS The impact of apraglutide on cytarabine or melphalan chemotherapy-induced intestinal damage was assessed in BALB/c mice, and the effect on allogeneic transplantation in BALB/cJ and C57BL/6J mice.
