Objective: To explore the mechanism of retinoic acid (RA) protection against hyperoxia-induced lung injury.
Methods: Ninety Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned into three groups (n=30 each): air control group (exposed to air) and hyperoxia groups (exposed to 85% oxygen) with and without RA treatment. The RA-treated hyperoxia group received an intraperitoneal injection of RA (500 μg/kg) daily.
