Along with the activation of AMPD3, ischemia-reperfusion-induced lung inflammation is associated with increased MPO activity and TNF-alpha level. IMP significantly decreased the lung injury, MPO activity, TNF-alpha and increased SpO(2). These findings may lead to the development of a new therapeutic strategy for remote reperfusion lung injury.
