Protective effect of rivastigmine against lung injury in acute pancreatitis model in rats via Hsp 70/IL6/ NF-κB signaling cascade.

Acute lung injury (ALI) that develops as a result of AP can progress to acute respiratory distress syndrome. Some hypotheses are proposed to explain the pathophysiology of AP and its related pulmonary hazards. This experiment aimed to evaluate the mitigating action of rivastigmine (Riva) in lung injury that occurs on the top of acute pancreatitis (AP) induced in rats.
