Propofol Offers Hope for Treating Severe Pancreatitis, Reducing Organ Damage

Pancreatitis

The researchers wanted to see if propofol could protect the livers of severely scalded rabbits. They divided the rabbits into two groups, one receiving propofol and the other not. They found that the rabbits who received propofol had lower levels of liver damage markers and inflammation compared to those who did not. This suggests that propofol can help protect the liver in cases of severe burns.
