Relaxin Protects Rat Lungs from Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury via Inducible NO Synthase: Role of ERK-1/2, PI3K, and Forkhead Transcription Factor FKHRL1

INTRODUCTION: Early allograft dysfunction following lung transplantation is mainly an ischemia/reperfusion (IR) injury. We showed that relaxin-2 (relaxin) exerts a protective effect in lung IR, attributable to decreases in endothelin-1 (ET-1) production, leukocyte recruitment, and free radical gener...
