Does oxidative stress induce adult T cell leukemia derived factor/thioredoxin in the rat retina?
ADF induction in retinal pigment epithelial cells may be involved in the defense mechanism against cellular damage caused by active oxygen species generated during oxygen stress to the retina.
Pups who received relaxin with all feeds had substantially increased ileal perfusion compared to control pups. Our data suggest that relaxin supplementation maintains intestinal blood flow and results in less histologic NEC.
