Epidermal growth factor (EGF) and heparin\u2010binding EGF\u2010like growth factor (HB\u2010EGF) have protective effects against intestinal injury. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of oral administration of HB\u2010EGF, EGF, or both on the incidence of NEC in a neonatal rat model.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Materials and Methods:<\/jats:title><jats:p>Premature rats were fed by hand and exposed to asphyxia and cold stress to develop NEC. Four diets were used: formula (NEC), formula supplemented with 500 ng\/mL HB\u2010EGF (HB), 500 ng\/mL EGF (EGF), or a combination of both (E+HB). Ileal injury, endogenous HB\u2010EGF production, expression of EGF receptors, goblet cell density, and expression of apoptotic proteins were evaluated.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title><jats:p>Oral administration of either EGF or HB\u2010EGF significantly reduced the incidence of NEC; however, EGF provided better protection in physiologically relevant doses. Simultaneous administration of both growth factors did not result in any synergistic protective effect against NEC. There were no significant differences between treatment groups in ileal gene expression of EGF receptors or HB\u2010EGF. However, the balance of apoptotic proteins in the ileum was shifted in favor of cell survival in EGF\u2010treated rats. This mechanism may be responsible for the higher efficiency of EGF protection against NEC.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title><jats:p>These data suggest that a physiological dosage of EGF or a pharmacological dosage of HB\u2010EGF could be used for prevention of
