Research Article: Melatonin Attenuates Sepsis-Induced Acute Lung Injury via Inhibiting Excessive Mitophagy
Abstract:
Sepsis associated with a high incidence of morbidity and mortality is caused by an uncontrolled host response to infection. The lungs are the most vulnerable organs in patients suffering from sepsis in the intensive care unit. Acute lung injury (ALI) caused by sepsis is one of the leading causes of mortality, refractory hypoxemia and pulmonary edema in affected patients However, sepsis-related ALI remains lacks specific therapy.
