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...

Objective: Oxygen free radicals may be implicated in the pathogenesis of ischemia reperfusion damage. The beneficial effects of antioxidant nutrients, as well as complex plant extracts, on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injuries are well known. This study was conducted to determine the effects of the hydro-alcoholic root extract of Withania coagulans on CA1 hippocampus oxidative damages followin...

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...

Introduction: Renal Ischemia Reperfusion is considered to be one of the causes of acute renal failure (AKI). In addition, renal ischemia is an important incident usually occurs due to renal transplantion, repair of suprarenal aneurysm, hemorrhagic shock. A recent study reported that reactive oxygen species (ROS) are important mediators of AKI. It seems essential to use antioxidant to decrease t...

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...

Introduction Ischemic postconditioning is a method that shows evidence of efficacy in minimizing reperfusion injury; however, its effectiveness in preventing injuries in distant organs is still unknown, especially in those who have undergone mesenteric ischemia and reperfusion. Objective To evaluate the effect of ischemic postconditioning in preventing reperfusion injury in the liver of rats ...

Background Erythropoietin (EPO) is known as a regulating hormone for production of red blood cells called Erythropoiesis. Some studies have shown that erythropoietin have some nonhematopoietic protective effects on ischemia-reperfusion injury in myocardial cells. We evaluated the effect of exogenous EPO infusion on reducing ischemia-reperfusion injuries and improvement of cardiac function by ec...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Mesenteric ischemia/reperfusion injury induces a systemic response and releases harmful substances that may affect distant organs such as the lung, liver and kidney. We designed this study to determine if curcumin has protective effects against mesenteric ischemia/reperfusion injury and mesenteric ischemia/reperfusion-induced intestinal and distant organ injury. METHODS Forty ...

INTRODUCTION The prevailing notion is that ischemia reperfusion injury of the small bowel induces transient changes that resolve within a few days post-occurrence. However, chronic injury has been described following a single ischemia reperfusion in the kidney. We proceeded to ascertain if a similar outcome is also witnessed in the small bowel. MATERIALS AND METHODS ACI rats (n=32) underwent ...
