Hesperidin-β-Cyclodextrin inclusion complexes: A novel approach for preventing and treating acute lung injury caused by seawater drowning by Jingjing Hou, Mengdi Zhang, Zheyi Han, Wanmei Wang, Haiying Qiu, Jingwei Yuan, Fang An, Yan Wu

“…The administration of Hep-β-CD via the pulmonary route has been found to be highly effective in preventing seawater drowning-induced ALI in mice, achieved through modulation of key inflammatory mediators and a reduction in oxidative stress. The study demonstrated that Hep-β-CD administration significantly decreased the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha (TNF-α) and Interleukin-6 (IL-6), which are known to contribute to the pathogenesis of ALI. …”
