Zusammenfassung
Aims: Ischemia-reperfusion injury to the liver occurs in trauma, hemorrhagic shock, and after hepatic surgery, including tumor resection and transplantation. Reactive oxygen species, produced by activated macrophages (in particular Kupffer cells) and neutrophils, play a critical role in the injury caused by ischemia-reperfusion. The multifunctional cytokine Interleukin–10 (IL–10) is known for its ability to inhibit activation and effector function of T cells, monocytes, and macrophages. AIM: Here, we investigated the effect of adenoviral gene delivery of IL–10 in an acute model of hepatic oxidative stress. Metho…
