Nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappaB) regulates a large number of genes involved in the inflammatory response to critical illnesses, but it is not known if and how NF-kappaB is activated and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) expressed in the gut following traumatic brain injury (TBI). The aim of current study was to investigate the temporal pattern of intestinal NF-kappaB activation and ICAM-1 expression following TBI.
