Objective: In various pathophysiological conditions, including septic shock, reactive oxidants cause DNA strand breakage and subsequent activation of the nuclear enzyme poly (ADP ribose) polymerase (PARP). Activation of PARP results in cellular dysfunction. We investigated the 3-Aminobenzamide (3-AB), one of the pure PARP-1 inhibitor, on mesenteric blood flow and organ injury (lung, liver, spleen) in a murine caecal ligation and puncture (CLP) model of septic shock in both gender.
