Kupffer cells (KCs) have been implicated in the leukocyte recruitment and microvascular dysfunction associated with liver inflammation. The overall objective of this study was to assess the role of KCs in the leukocyte adhesion and oxidative stress elicited in the liver by gut ischemia/reperfusion (

Hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) displays anti-inflammatory and cytoprotective activities as evidenced by the inhibition of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury and production of lipid peroxidation. H 2 S also exerts many physiological or pathological effects on livers. Therefore, we designed the present
Hepatic injury induced by ischemia and reperfusion is an important clinical problem after liver resection or transplantation. Neutrophils are known to mediate the organ injury, but the precise mechanisms leading to hepatic neutrophil recruitment are undefined. Two CXC chemokines, macrophage inflamma
Sham-Operated Control. Sham-operated control animals underwent identical preparations, except that the portal vein clip was not applied. The abdominal wall was then closed with 2-0 silk.
It has been shown that the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) plays key roles in the development of fibrosis in numerous organs, including the liver. Other studies have suggested that the RAS also may play roles in diseases of chronic inflammation. However, whether the RAS also can mediate acute inflamm
