Systemic combined melatonin-mitochondria treatment improves acute respiratory distress syndrome in the rat

Despite high in‐hospital mortality associated with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), there is no effective therapeutic strategy. We tested the hypothesis that combined melatonin–mitochondria treatment ameliorates 100% oxygen‐induced ARDS in rats. Adult male Sprague‐Dawley rats (n = 40) wer...

Zusammenfassung:Despite high in‐hospital mortality associated with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), there is no effective therapeutic strategy. We tested the hypothesis that combined melatonin–mitochondria treatment ameliorates 100% oxygen‐induced ARDS in rats. Adult male Sprague‐Dawley rats (n = 40) were equally categorized into normal controls, ARDS, ARDS‐melatonin, ARDS with intravenous liver‐derived mitochondria (1500 μg per rat 6 hr after ARDS induction), and ARDS receiving combined melatonin–mitochondria. The results showed that 22 hr after ARDS induction, oxygen saturation (saO2) was lowest in the ARDS group and highest in normal controls, significantly lower in ARDS‐melatonin and ARDS‐mitochondria than in combined melatonin–mitochondria group, and significantly lower in ARDS‐mitochondria than in ARDS‐melatonin group. Conversely, right ventricular systolic blood pressure and lung weight showed an opposite pattern compared with saO2 among all groups (all P
