Reduction of Acute Lung Injury by Administration of Spironolactone After Intestinal Ischemia and Reperfusion in Rats
Clinical And Investigative MedicinePeer ReviewedFigen Barut +42016Journals
Multiple organ failure, including acute lung injury, is a common complication of intestinal ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) injury and contributes to its high mortality rate. Activated polymorphonuclear neutrophils and reactive oxygen species contribute to the lung injury caused by intestinal I/R. Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist spironolactone has a protective effect against I/R injury in animal models of retina, kidney, heart, and brain. The aim of the present study is to investigate the effect of aldosterone receptor blocker spironolactone on lung injury induced by intestinal I/R.
