Teduglutide, a glucagon-like peptide 2 analogue: A novel protective agent with anti-apoptotic and anti-oxidant properties in mice with lung injury

► TNF-α treatment combined with Act D makes the lung a vulnerable sensitive organ to damage. ► We demonstrated here for the first time the localization of GLP-2 receptors in the lung. ► Teduglutide is as a novel protective agent with anti-apoptotic and anti-oxidant properties against acute lung injury.
