Introduction: Experimental intestinal transplantation (ITx) in rats is a widely used tool in the study of ischemiareperfusion injury and rejection. Even so, live donors are used in the majority of these protocols. With the aim ofgenerate a model closer to the clinical reality, our study intends to introduce brain death (BD) protocol toanalyze the impact of biological processes associated with ITx
