Hyperbaric oxygen therapy palliates lipopolysaccharide-induced acute lung injury in rats by upregulating AQP1 and AQP5 expression

Abstract

HBO therapy palliated LPS-induced ALI in rats by downregulating TNF-α expression. HBO also upregulated AQP1 and AQP5 expression. These results could serve as guidelines for the full understanding of ALI therapy by HBO, thus achieving maximized therapeutic efficiency.
