We read with great interest the article by Azzalini et al., 1 who demonstrated that cigarette smoking worsens the severity of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in obese Zucker rats. In a related letter, Xu and coworkers 2 showed that cigarette smoking may act as a cofactor but not as an indep
## Abstract Hemin, the oxidized form of heme, is released from hemoglobin after CNS hemorrhage and may contribute to injury to surrounding tissue. The heme oxygenase (HO) enzymes catalyze the breakdown of hemin to biliverdin, carbon monoxide, and ferric iron. Although HOโ2, the isoform expressed pr
Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-l), a stress-responsive enzyme that catabolizes heme into carbon monoxide (CO), biliverdin, and iron, has previously been shown to protect grafts from ischemia/ reperfusion injury and rejection. Here we investigated the protective potential of HO-1 in 5 models of immune-mediated
Upregulation of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) has been proposed as a critical mechanism protecting against cellular stress during liver transplantation, providing a potential target for new therapeutic interventions. We investigated the feasibility of in vivo bioluminescence imaging (BLI) to noninvasively
