Resveratrol ameliorates thoracic blast exposure-induced inflammation, endoplasmic reticulum stress and apoptosis in the brain through the Nrf2/Keap1 and NF- κB signaling pathway

Blast injury is the damage of body organs and tissues caused by impact force of high speed blast waves. Since both internal and external injuries can be caused by blast injuries, they can manifest in a variety of ways. For example, while the clinical features of an observed body surface trauma may be relatively mild, a serious general visceral injury may be present [1]. Peak time for these injuries is also rapid, generally within 48 hours, which means that the consequences of blast injuries are often unpredictable and can be fatal if they are not treated in time.
