abstract：:Despite growing evidence that reactive oxygen species are responsible for deleterious effects of ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury of the liver, there exists, until now, no reliable antioxidant therapeutics applicable in the clinical setting. We investigated the effects of free radical scavenger, 3-methyl-1-phenyl-2-p...
