Heme oxygenase‐1‐derived carbon monoxide protects hearts from transplant‐associated ischemia reperfusion injury

Abstract
Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) degrades heme into iron, biliverdin, and carbon monoxide (CO). HO- 1 expression can be used therapeutically to ameliorate undesirable consequences of ischemia reperfusion inju...
