Does pre-treatment with glutamine attenuate lung injury in rats subjected to intestinal ischaemia-reperfusion?
Ischaemia-reperfusion injury increases the expression of ICAM-1 in the lung. This may contribute to the migration, accumulation and activation of neutrophils. Pre-treatment with Gln attenuates rat lung injury and reduces ICAM-1 expression.
DNaseI targeting mtDNA may be a promising approach for the treatment of PQ-induced acute lung injury and pulmonary fibrosis that merits fast tracking through clinical trials.
