Small-for-Size Liver Transplantation Increases Pulmonary Injury in Rats: Prevention by NIM811

Figure 4

Increased pulmonary oxidative and nitrosative adduct formation after transplantation of small-for-size liver grafts: Prevention by NIM811. Lungs were harvested 38 h after transplantation. Representative images of pulmonary slides after immunohistochemical staining for 4-hydroxynonenal (left column) and 3-nitrotyrosine (right column) are shown. Panels are as follow: 1st row, lung from a sham-operated rat; 2nd row, lung from a FSG recipient (100%); 3rd row, lung from a HSG recipient (50%); 4th row, lung from a QSG recipient (25%); 5th row, lung from a recipient of a QSG treated with NIM811. Group sizes were 4 per group.
