| Research Abstract |
In the present study, we evaluated the ability of a new vitamin E derivative, ETS-GS, to improve liver I/R injury.Male Wistar Rats received a subcutaneous injection of ETS-GS (10 mg/kg) or saline before experimentally-induced liver I/R injury or sham treatment. The rats were sacrificed after the 60-min ischemia and 24-h reperfusion. We found that ETS-GS treatment attenuated I/R-induced histologic alterations, reduced levels of liver enzymes aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). Taken together, our results demonstrate that ETS-GS attenuates I/R injury in a rat model and suggests that ETS-GS may exert anti-oxidant effects. Accordingly, ETS-GS may have therapeutic potential to treat various clinical conditions involving I/R injury.
