Abstract:Background.
Concern of ischemia-reperfusion injury reduces utilization of donor lungs. We hypothesized adding L-alanyl-L-glutamine (L-AG) to preservation solution may protect donor lungs from ischemia-reperfusion injury through its multiple cytoprotective effects.
Methods.
A lung transplantation cell culture model was used on human lung epithelial cells and pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells, and the effects of adding different concentrations of … Show more
