objective(s)ischemia-reperfusion injury (iri) is a leading cause of kidney transplantation failure, and ischemic-preconditioning (ipc) is a protective method against the iri. in the present study, the defensive effect of ipc on rats’ kidney was investigated and more importantly the differences between two genders were appraised.materials and methodsthirty two wistar rats were randomly allocated...

BACKGROUND Renal ischemia reperfusion injury may occur in a variety of clinical situations, following a transient drop in total or regional blood flow to the kidney. This study was performed to investigate the protective effects of different antioxidants such as vitamin C, vitamin E, hydrocortisone and combination of these agents against experimental renal ischemia-reperfusion injury. METHOD ...

introduction: ischemia-reperfusion (ir) injury involves a complex, interrelated sequence of events. generation of reactive oxygen species (ros) especially superoxide anion, during ir is reported. the present study was designed to investigate the effect of mn (iii) tetrakis (4- benzoic acid) porphyrin (mntbap), an active, stable, nontoxic, and cell permeable sod (super oxide dismutase) mimetic i...

Introduction: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of angiotensin II (Ang II) and losartan injections into paraventricular nucleus (PVN) on renal ischemia-reperfusion injury. Methods: After right nephrectomy in male rats, a cannula was inserted into the right PVN. One week later, renal ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury was induced by clamping the left renal artery for 45 min, and ...

Tetracyclines exhibit significant anti-inflammatory properties in a variety of rheumatologic and dermatologic conditions. They have also been shown to inhibit apoptosis in certain neurodegenerative disorders. Because ischemic renal injury is characterized by both apoptosis and inflammation, we investigated the therapeutic potential of tetracyclines in a rat model of renal ischemia-reperfusion. ...

Mallow (Malva sylvestris L.) has had medicinal and therapeutic uses in addition to its oral consumption. The present study was conducted to examine the protective effect of Malva sylvestris L. extract on ischemia-reperfusion-induced kidney injury and remote organ injuries in the liver. Before ischemia-reperfusion, rats in the different groups received intraperitoneal normal saline or mallow ext...

Ischemia and/or reperfusion injury (IR) is one of the most common causes of acute renal failure. Erythropoietin (EPO), is main hematopoietic hormone that has recently been shown to exert important cytoprotective and anti-apoptotic effects in experimental I/R and toxicity models. Recent studies suggest that administration of exogenous EPO prevents ischemia-induced kidney damage. In this review w...

Resume. The search for new drugs with cytoprotective and anti-ischemic activity is an urgent task of modern pharmacology. These properties are necessary the complex protection renal parenchyma during organ preservation operations (renal resection), most often carried out in conditions thermal ischemia. Only combined use highly effective skill operating surgeon can prevent development acute inju...

Disruption of the renal endothelial integrity is pivotal for the development of a vascular leak, tissue edema and consequently acute kidney injury. Kidney ischemia amplifies endothelial activation and up-regulation of pro-inflammatory mechanisms. After restoring a sufficient blood flow, the kidney is damaged through complex pathomechanisms that are classically referred to as ischemia and reperf...
