HMOX1 and Sepsis: H2 treatment upregulated the protein expression of mitofusin-2 (Mfn2), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma coactivator-1α (PGC-1α), and protein heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) in WT mice with severe sepsis but not in their Nrf2−/− counterparts, and this upregulation was inhibited in the presence of ZnPPIX.
