Does hyperoxia improve the survival of intraportally transplanted syngeneic pancreatic islets?
Hyperoxia posttransplantation increases the number of islets that survive the engraftment process and allows normalization of plasma glucose levels with a smaller number of transplanted islets.
We conclude that corticosteroids prevent the increase in HA in BAL from Dp-challenged mice. This effect is associated with reduced expression of HAS and reduced phosphorylation of Akt and ERK in the lungs of challenged mice.
