Role of high-mobility group box-1 in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury and the effect of ethyl pyruvate

High-mobility group box-1 (HMGB1) acts as a proinflammatory cytokine that triggers and amplifies the inflammation cascade following ischemia/reperfusion (I/R). Ethyl pyruvate (EP) has been reported to inhibit HMGB1 release in several I/R models. This study was designed to investigate the potential r...
