Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Pulmonary Fibrosis

Created using ChatSlide

This study explores the relationship between fructose, inflammation, and pulmonary fibrosis, highlighting the role of autophagy and COX-1 pathways. Using a 10-week dietary protocol on four rat groups, histological and immunohistochemical assessments revealed that hypercaloric diets increased fibrosis and tissue inflammation, while hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) significantly reduced these effects. The findings suggest that HBOT may normalize COX-1 and autophagy markers, indicating its...
