A Murine Model of Myocardial Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ligation of the left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery in the mouse heart is a widely used model to simulate myocardial infarction and ischemia-reperfusion injury. Here we describe a ligation technique routinely performed in our laboratory to induce myocardial infarction that may be used to study ischemia-reperfusion injury in the myocardium. The methods described enhance location of the LAD coronary artery to allow for accurate ligation, thus increasing reproducibility of infarct size and location.

Pathophysiology of Ischemia/Reperfusion-induced Myocardial Injury: What We Have Learned From Preconditioning and Postconditioning?
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...
متن کاملAcute effect of burn trauma to small skin areas on myocardial ischemia reperfusion
Introduction: It has been reported that traumas such as transverse abdominal incision before myocardial ischemia result in a significantly decreased infarct size. This phenomenon is named remote preconditioning of trauma. Since small skin burn is one of most common traumas, the effect of this injury on ischemia-induced arrhythmias and infarct size was investigated in a rat model of ischemia-...
متن کاملDoes Heart Affect Peripheral Vascular Resistance Following Myocardial Ischemia and Reperfusion?
Objective(s) The aim of this study was to investigate the overall effect of cardiac vasoactive factors during coronary occlusion and reperfusion on peripheral vascular tone, using a sequential isolated rabbit heart-ear perfusion model. Materials and Methods Isolated ears were perfused with the effluent of isolated hearts subjected to ischemia (30 min) and reperfusion (180 min, n=6). The comp...

Introduction: Inhibition of renin angiotensin system represents an important approach in the management of cardiovascular diseases. The aim of this study was to explore the effects of pretreatment with non-hypotensive dose of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, ramiprilat and angiotensin type 1 (AT1) receptor blocker, losartan on myocardial infarct size and arrhythmias in a rat mo...
متن کاملThe effect of asafoetida essential oil on myocardial ischemic-reperfusion injury in isolated rat hearts
Objective: Previous studies reported that asafetida from Ferula assa-foetida Linn. species and its essential oil (AEO) have antioxidant effects. In the present study, the effect of AEO was evaluated on ischemic-reperfusion injury in isolated rat hearts. Materials and Methods: Forty-eight male Wistar rats were divided into 6 groups: 1) control group, 2) vehicle group, 3-5) AEO groups and, 6) car...
متن کاملPreconditioning Effect of High-Intensity Aerobic Training on Myocardial Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury and Beclin-1 Gene Expression in Rats
Purpose: Ischemia-Reperfusion (IR) injury is one of the most common cardiac disorders leading to irreversible heart damage. Many underlying mechanisms seem to be involved, among which disruption of cellular autophagy balance. Since physical training has a beneficial effect on the improvement of autophagy balance, it may have a cardioprotective effect against IR injury. This study investigates t...
