Purpose: Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury exacerbates myocardial cell death (including apoptosis and necrosis), leading to complications such as arrhythmias, stenosis, microvascular obstruction heart failure, it is particularly important seek new strategies mitigate reperfusion injury. In this paper, we will investigate whether atorvastatin can alleviate ischemia-reperfusion verify its molecul...

Background: This study was aimed to investigate the hepatoprotective effect of RSV against oxidative stress damage which we induced an experimental liver Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) model in rats. Methods: Female albino rats were divided into three groups (n = 8). Contrast control group, 1 ml saline (0.09 % NaCl) administered intraperitoneally two days before operation and after reperfusion sham...

conclusions the analysis of the pro-apoptotic gene to anti-apoptotic gene expression ratio (bad /bcl-xl) confirmed that expression of the pro-apoptotic gene significantly decreased (p value ˂ 0.001) under the ischemia/reperfusion condition. in contrast, the expression of the anti-apoptotic gene increased after administration of fk-506 (p value ˂ 0.001). results the quantitative results of real-...

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...

One of the most common causes of mortality in acute kidney injury is brain dysfunction. Here we investigated the possible protective effect of erythropoietin (EPO) on cognitive impairments induced by bilateral renal ischemia (BRI). Eighty male Wistar rats were allocated into 8 groups: 1, 2) Sham+V (Vehicle), 3, 4) Sham+EPO, 5, 6) BRI+V, 7, 8) BRI+EPO. The groups followed by the reperfusion per...

ischemia-reperfusion injury is the tissue damage caused when blood supply returns to the tissue after a period of ischemia or lack of oxygen. ischemia-reperfusion brain injury initiates an inflammatory response involving the expression of adhesion molecules and cytokines. twenty–four male wistar rats (250-300 g body wt) were used in this study. the animals were divided into four groups of 6 rat...

a serious hazard to patients during orthotopic liver transplantation is hyperkalemia. although the most frequent and hazardous hyperkalemia occurs immediately after reperfusion of the newly transplanted liver, morbid hyperkalemia could happen in the other phases during orthotopic liver transplantation. however, pre-anhepatic hyperkalemia during orthotopic liver transplantation is rare. this rep...

Nitric oxide (NO) is involved in the pathogenesis of cerebral ischemic injury. Here, we investigated effects aging on NO production during ischemia-reperfusion (IR). Male Wister rats (WRs) were assigned to 12-month-old (older; n = 5) and 3-month-old (younger; 7) groups. Similarly, male spontaneous hypertensive (SHRs) allocated 6) 8) After anesthesia, their was monitored using vivo microdialysis...
