Dose-related effects of theophylline added to modified Euro-Collins solution used for hypothermic preservation of lung.
To investigate the dose-related effects of theophylline in prevention of ischemia-reperfusion injury of the lung. ⋯ The results of this study showed that 400 mg/L and 1000 mg/L of theophylline added to the modified Euro-Collins solution decreased the intermediate products of lipid peroxidation. Theophylline merits further investigation in ischemia-reperfusion studies as a potentially beneficial agent.
