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...

Objective(s):Acute kidney injury (AKI), a syndrome characterized by decreased glomerular filtration, occurs in every 1 of 5 hospitalized patients.  Renal ischemia-reperfusion, one of the main causes of AKI, is of particular importance in the setting of kidney transplantation. Materials and Methods: Sixty male rats were divided into four groups including control, nephrectomy, sham surgery and re...

objective(s):bradykinin is a part of the kinin-kallikreinsystem which is involved in ischemia-reperfusion injury via b1 and b2 receptors.noscapine is a non-competitive antagonist of bradykinin receptors. noscapine has been reported to to be able to protect some organs against ischemia-reperfusion injury but its effect on renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (rir) in rats is unknown. therefore, the...

Introduction: Liver ischemia/reperfusion (IR) is a major clinical problem, which occurs during several conditions such as liver damage, trauma and transplantation. Recent studies indicate that IR-induced acute liver failure causes injuries of distant organs such as heart and lungs by systematic inflammatory responses. Therefore, in the present study, effects of hepatic IR induction were stud...

background: renal ischemia reperfusion (ir), one of the most important causative mechanisms of acute kidney injury, is a major clinical problem that occurs in some hospitalized patients. the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of hydroxytyrosol (ht) on renal ischemia-reperfusion injury in mice. methods: male mice were randomly assigned to three groups (n = 9): (1) sham operated, (2...

background: the aim of this study was to investigate the protective effects of crocin against tissue damages and leukocyte infiltration induced by renal ischemia/reperfusion. methods: in this experimental study, 35 male wister rats weighing 250-300 g were randomly divided into 5 groups; 1. operated controls, but no vessel occlusion was considered and passed during equivalent reperfusion period ...

introduction: during kidney and other organ's transplantation, the organ to be transplanted, must inevitably remain out of the body with little or no blood perfusion at all, for long period of time (ischemia). this causes the release of oxygen free radicals (ofr). reperfusion (reintroduction of blood flow) will further exacerbate the initial damage caused by the ischemic insult and may result i...

  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 ...
