Experimental evidence of ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid modulation of inflammatory cytokines and bioactive lipid mediators: their potential role in inflammatory, neurodegenerative, and neoplastic diseases.

abstract：Background:Liver ischaemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) remains a problem in liver transplantation. Interleukin-4 (IL-4) has been found to reduce liver IRI, but the exact mechanism remains unclear. Methods:Donor livers were infused with recombinant IL-4 or normal saline during cold storage, and the hepatocellular apoptosi...
