organ damage after reperfusion of previously viable ischemic tissues is defined as ischemia/reperfusion injury. the pathophysiology of ischemia/reperfusion injury involves cellular effect of ischemia, reactive oxygen species and inflammatory cascade. protection against ischemia/reperfusion injury may be achieved by preconditioning or postconditioning. in this review, we discuss basic mechanisms...

Organ damage after reperfusion of previously viable ischemic tissues is defined as ischemia/reperfusion injury. The pathophysiology of ischemia/reperfusion injury involves cellular effect of ischemia, reactive oxygen species and inflammatory cascade. Protection against ischemia/reperfusion injury may be achieved by preconditioning or postconditioning. In this review, we discuss basic mechan...

conclusions pretreatment with epo and application of ipc significantly ameliorated the renal injury induced by bilateral renal ir. however, both treatments attenuated renal dysfunction and oxidative stress in kidney tissues. there were no significant differences between pretreatment with epo or application of ipc. materials and methods twenty four male wistar rats were allocated into four exper...

results the basic mechanism of hepatic ischemia – reperfusion injury is one of blood deprivation during ischemia, followed by the return of flow during reperfusion. it involves a complex series of events, such as mitochondrial deenergization, adenosine-5'-triphosphate depletion, alterations of electrolyte homeostasis, as well as kupffer cell activation, oxidative stress changes and upregulation...

ischemia-reperfusion injury is the tissue damage happened when blood supply returns to the tissue after a period of ischemia or shortage of oxygen. this brain injury initiates an inflammatory response involving the expression of adhesion molecules and cytokines. the aim of this study is investigating the effect of hydroalcoholic extract of  cyperus rotundus l. on the expression of the bcl-x1 an...

Background:Troxerutin has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and in this study, its antioxidant effect on the reduction of oxidative stress induced by ischemia-reperfusion sciatic nerve injury was investigated. Methods:In this study, 64 male rats were randomly divided into 8 groups as follows: 1- IR2: ischemia (3 hours) and reperfusion (2 days), 2- T...

conclusions treatment with epo and mel had a beneficial effect on renal ir injury. the results may also indicate that mel protects against morphological damage better than epo in renal ir injury. results ischemia-reperfusion significantly decreased the observed hb and hct values. the histopathological findings in the ir group confirmed that there was an increase in the hyaline cast and thickeni...

objective: it is generally agreed that most of the phenomena observed during brain ischemia and reperfusion can be explained by the damage to membrane structure. oxidative stress is resulted in an imbalance between high consumption of oxygen and low levels of endogenous antioxidants. it is known that gallic acid (ga) is a strong antioxidant. the present study was carried out to evaluate the eff...

background renal ischemia reperfusion (ir) contributes to the development of acute renal failure (arf). oxygen free radicals are considered principal components involved in the pathophysiological tissue alterations observed during renal ir. objective in this study, we compared the effects of melatonin (mel) and erythropoietin (epo), which are known antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agents, in i...

objective(s): some histopathological alterations take place in the ischemic regions following brain ischemia. recent studies have demonstrated some neuroprotective roles of crocin in different models of experimental cerebral ischemia. here, we investigated the probable neuroprotective effects of crocin on the brain infarction and histopathological changes after transient model of focal cerebral...
