Zusammenfassung
Liver ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) leads to the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which cause liver injury and initiate an inflammatory response, a critical problem after liver surgery and transplantation. Xanthohumol, the major prenylated chalcone found in hops, is known for its anti-inflammatory and ROS-scavenging properties. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of xanthohumol in a model of warm ischemia-reperfusion liver injury. Methods and Results: Xanthohumol was applied to BALB/c mice orally at a dose of 1mg/g body weight for 5 days before warm ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury was i…
