GSH attenuates organ injury and improves function after transplantation of fatty livers.
Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is increased after transplantation of steatotic livers. Since those livers are increasingly used for transplantation, protective strategies must be developed. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a key role in hepatic IRI. In lean organs, glutathione (GSH) is an efficient scavenger of ROS, diminishing IRI. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether GSH also pr...
متن کاملDeguelin Attenuates Reperfusion Injury and Improves Outcome after Orthotopic Lung Transplantation in the Rat
The main goal of adequate organ preservation is to avoid further cellular metabolism during the phase of ischemia. However, modern preservation solutions do rarely achieve this target. In donor organs hypoxia and ischemia induce a broad spectrum of pathologic molecular mechanisms favoring primary graft dysfunction (PGD) after transplantation. Increased hypoxia-induced transcriptional activity l...
متن کاملExpression of heme oxygenase-1 in human livers before transplantation correlates with graft injury and function after transplantation.
Upregulation of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) has been proposed as an adaptive mechanism protecting against ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. We investigated HO-1 expression in 38 human liver transplants and correlated this with I/R injury and graft function. Before transplantation, median HO-1 mRNA levels were 3.4-fold higher (range: 0.7-9.3) in donors than in normal controls. Based on the median v...
متن کاملOmega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid supplementation improves neurologic recovery and attenuates white matter injury after experimental traumatic brain injury.
Dietary supplementation with omega-3 (ω-3) fatty acids is a safe, economical mean of preventive medicine that has shown protection against several neurologic disorders. The present study tested the hypothesis that this method is protective against controlled cortical impact (CCI). Indeed, mice fed with ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA)-enriched diet for 2 months exhibited attenuated short a...
متن کاملICAM-1 Upregulation in Ethanol-Induced Fatty Murine Livers Promotes Injury and Sinusoidal Leukocyte Adherence after Transplantation
Background. Transplantation of ethanol-induced steatotic livers causes increased graft injury. We hypothesized that upregulation of hepatic ICAM-1 after ethanol produces increased leukocyte adherence, resulting in increased generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and injury after liver transplantation (LT). Methods. C57BL/6 wildtype (WT) and ICAM-1 knockout (KO) mice were gavaged with ethan...
