no-flow–reflow states: hemorrhage, blunt trauma, or neurogenic shock. Liver ischemia-
reperfusion (IR) induces remote lung damage by means of xanthine oxidase (XO) pro-
oxidant activity. This damage was not proven in the heart, neither was the independent role
of radical oxygen species (ROS) established in such cases. We investigated whether
multiple organ dysfunction after a trauma-like IR is XO and ROS related and whether …
