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):there are a few previously reported studies about the effect of nigella sativa oil on renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (iri). the aim of the present study was to test the hypothesis whether pre- or post-treatment with n. sativa hydroalcoholic extract (nse) would reduce tissue injury and oxidative damages in a clinically relevant rat model of renal iri.    materials and methods: ir...

Introduction: Acute kidney injury (AKI) has been known as a complex clinical complication in diabetic patients. The main cause of AKI is ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI). This study was designed to investigate the protective effects of GABA on renal IRI in hyperglycemic female and male rats. Methods: Sixty STZ induced diabetic male and female Wistar rats were categorized in 10 groups (5 fem...

BACKGROUND The nuclear protein high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) is a key trigger for the inflammatory reaction during liver ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI). Hydrogen treatment was recently associated with down-regulation of the expression of HMGB1 and pro-inflammatory cytokines during sepsis and myocardial IRI, but it is not known whether hydrogen has an effect on HMGB1 in liver IRI. METHO...

Background and AimsHepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is a common pathophysiological phenomenon in clinical practice, which usually occurs liver transplantation, resection, severe trauma, hemorrhagic shock. Proanthocyanidin (PC), exerted from various plants with antioxidant, antitumor, antiaging activity, were administrated our study to investigate the underlying mechanism of its protect...

Objective(s): Hepatic ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) is one of the major causes of hepatic failure during liver transplantation, trauma, and infections. The present study investigated the protective effect of intra-portal administration of 2-methoxycinnamaldehyde (2-MCA) on hepatic IRI in rats. Materials and Methods: Twenty-four rats ...

Renal Ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) is characterized by the restriction of blood supply, followed restoration flow and re-oxygenation. Reperfusion itself paradoxically exacerbates tissue injury, threatening function, viability organ. IRI usually associated with a variety homeostatic changes that involve reduced energetics, oxidative processes contribute to mitochondrial dysfunction. Dependi...

Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is induced as a result of reentry of the blood and oxygen to ischemic tissue. Antioxidant and some other drugs have protective effect on IRI. In many surgeries and clinical conditions IRI is counteract inevitable. Some anesthetic agents may have a protective role in this procedure. It is known that inhalational anesthetics possess protective effects against IRI...
