objective: oxygen free radicals may be implicated in the pathogenesis of ischemia reperfusion damage. the beneficial effects of antioxidant nutrients, as well as complex plant extracts, on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injuries are well known. this study was conducted to determine the effects of the hydro-alcoholic root extract of withania coagulans on ca1 hippocampus oxidative damages followin...

objective(s): renal ischemia reperfusion (ir) contributes to the development of acute renal failure (arf). oxygen free radicals are considered to be principal components involved in the pathophysiological tissue alterations observed during renal ir. the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of co-administration of melatonin (mel) and erythropoietin (epo), potent antioxidant and an...

background: nitric oxide synthase (nos) activity is increased during hypertension and cerebral ischemia. nos inactivation reduces stroke-induced cerebral injuries, but little is known about its role in blood-brain barrier (bbb) disruption and cerebral edema formation during stroke in acute hypertension. here, we investigated the role of nos inhibition in progression of edema formation and bbb d...

objective(s): the alteration of glucose transporters is closely related with the pathogenesis of brain edema. we compared neuronal damage/death in the hippocampus between adult and young gerbils following transient cerebral ischemia/reperfusion and changes of glucose transporter-1(glut-1)-immunoreactive microvessels in their ischemic hippocampal ca1 region. materials and methods: transient cere...

Very early reperfusion after coronary occlusion can reduce infarct size and preserve left ventricular function. Whether later reperfusion is of benefit is unclear. We studied the effect of very early reperfusion with myocardial salvage and "late" reperfusion without myocardial salvage on infarct expansion and aneurysm formation. Sixty-eight rats underwent left coronary artery ligation and were ...

Reperfusion is a pre-requisite to salvaging viable myocardium, following an acute myocardial infarction. Reperfusion of ischaemic myocardium, however, is not without risk, as the act of reperfusion itself can paradoxically result in myocyte death: a phenomenon termed lethal reperfusion-induced injury. Therapeutic strategies that target and attenuate reperfusion-induced cell death may provide no...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The relationship between reperfusion and clinical outcome is time-dependent, and the effect of reperfusion on outcome can vary on the basis of the extent of collateral flow. We aimed to identify the impact of time-to-reperfusion on outcome relative to baseline angiographic collateral grade in patients successfully treated with endovascular revascularization for acute larg...

background and objective : sleep deprivation (sd) is caused by a host of reasons and has numerous consequences on cardiac system. in this study, we aimed to assess the preconditioning effects of acute sd on ischemia (is)-induced ventricular arrhythmias in isolated rat hearts. materials and methods : male wistar rats randomly were placed into the four groups: is-group, acute sd group, control gr...

Background: The aim was to investigate the antioxidant effects of lycopene and caffeine in rats exposed renal ischemia/reperfusion injury. Materials Methods: Following right nephrectomy, 60 minutes ischemia followed by reperfusion were performed 200-250 gram Wistar albino used study. 30 before ischemia, (5 mg/kg), (50 mg/kg) + administered intraperitoneally rats. After experiment, 4 ml blood le...
