The effect of parenteral betanin pre-treatment on the inflammatory response and proliferative activity of pulmonary parenchyma after jejunal ischaemia–reperfusion injury [PDF]
Journal of Veterinary ResearchIntestinal ischaemia–reperfusion (IR) injury has detrimental effects on both local and distant organs. Serious oxidative damage is caused by reperfusion, and betanin, known for its antioxidant properties, may reduce it.
