Abstract
Lipid peroxidation induced by oxygen free radicals is a contributing factor in ischemia-reperfusion injury. Lazaroid U-74389G (LAZ-G) is a group of new synthetic 21-aminosteroids and inhibits irondependent lipid peroxidation. We investigated the effects of LAZ-G on pulmonary ischemia-reperfusion injury in dogs. Twenty dogs were divided into three groups. In the LAZ-G group (
