Does lafutidine inhibit Helicobacter pylori-induced interleukin-8 production in human gastric epithelial cells?
These results suggest that lafutidine inhibits IL-8 release by inhibiting H. pylori adherence to gastric epithelial cells, indicating a novel mechanism by which lafutidine protects against the mucosal inflammation associated with H. pylori infection.
Our data indicate that the H2S-generating enzymes/H2S contributes to retinal NV in ischemia-induced retinopathy and suggest that blocking this pathway may provide novel therapeutic approaches for the treatment of proliferative retinopathy.
