1 The protective effect of alpha-lipoic Acid in lipopolysaccharide-induced acute lung injury is mediated by heme oxygenase-1. Thioctic Acid heme oxygenase 1 Homo sapiens
2 The aim of study was to test the hypothesis that the protection of ALA against lipopolysaccharide-(LPS-) induced acute lung injury (ALI) is mediated by HO-1. Thioctic Acid heme oxygenase 1 Homo sapiens
3 Interestingly, treatment with ALA significantly increased nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) activation and HO-1 expression in lungs of ALI. Thioctic Acid heme oxygenase 1 Homo sapiens
4 However, blocking HO-1 activity by tin protoporphyrin IX (SnPP), an HO-1 inhibitor, markedly abolished these beneficial effects of ALA in LPS-induced ALI. Thioctic Acid heme oxygenase 1 Homo sapiens
5 However, blocking HO-1 activity by tin protoporphyrin IX (SnPP), an HO-1 inhibitor, markedly abolished these beneficial effects of ALA in LPS-induced ALI. Thioctic Acid heme oxygenase 1 Homo sapiens
6 These results suggest that the protection mechanism of ALA may be through HO-1 induction and in turn suppressing NF- kappa B-mediated inflammatory responses. Thioctic Acid heme oxygenase 1 Homo sapiens
