Georgia [US], July 18 (ANI): During a new study, an oral prodrug has been developed by researchers that deliver carbon monoxide to protect against acute kidney injury.
The study published in Chemical Science was conducted by a team of scientists led by Binghe Wang, Regents Professor of Chemistry at Georgia State University.
Although carbon monoxide (CO) gas is toxic in large doses, scientists have discovered it can have beneficial effects by reducing inflammation and protecting cells against injury. Previous studies have demonstrated the protective effects of CO against injury in the kidneys, lungs, gastrointestinal tract and liver, among other organs.
