The researchers wanted to see if propofol could protect the lungs in rats with acute lung injury. They injected rats with a substance to cause lung injury, then gave them propofol or another substance. They found that propofol increased oxygen levels in the blood, reduced lung injury, and increased the expression of a protective protein called HO-1. This suggests that propofol can help protect the lungs by increasing HO-1 levels.
