Signals that drive interstitial fibrogenesis after renal ischemia reperfusion injury remain undefined. Sympathetic activation manifests even in the early clinical stages of chronic kidney disease and is directly related to disease severity. A role for renal nerves in renal interstitial fibrogenesis in the setting of ischemia reperfusion injury has not been studied. In male 129S1/SvImJ mice, isc...

Despite the latest advances in cardiovascular biology and medicine, myocardial infarction (MI) remains one of major causes deaths worldwide. While reperfusion myocardium is critical to limit ischemic damage typical a MI event, it detrimental morphological functional changes known as “reperfusion injury.” This complex scenario poorly represented currently available models ischemia/reperfusion in...

Purpose: To investigate the role of dexmedetomidine in gastric ischemia/reperfusion injury using mucosal epithelial cell (GES-1) model.
 Methods: GES-1 were subjected to oxygen-glucose deprivation conditions, followed by increasing concentrations (0.5, 1.0, or 1.5 μM) for 4 h reoxygenation. Cell viability and apoptosis determined 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bro...

Ginsenoside Rd has a clear neuroprotective effect against ischemic stroke. We aimed to verify the neuroprotective effect of ginsenoside Rd in spinal cord ischemia/reperfusion injury and explore its anti-apoptotic mechanisms. We established a spinal cord ischemia/reperfusion injury model in rats through the occlusion of the abdominal aorta below the level of the renal artery for 1 hour. Successf...

Renal ischemia and reperfusion during aortic and renal transplant surgery result in ischemic-reperfusion injury. Ischemic preconditioning and adenosine infusion before ischemia protect against ischemic-reperfusion injury in cardiac and skeletal muscle, but these protective phenomena have not been demonstrated in the kidney. Rats were randomized to sham operation, 45-min renal ischemia, ischemic...

In addition to its lipid-lowering effect, atorvastatin exerts anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects as well. In this study, we hypothesized that atorvastatin could protect against cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury. The middle cerebral artery ischemia/reperfusion model was established, and atorvastatin, 6.5 mg/kg, was administered by gavage. We found that, after cerebral ischemia/reperfus...

Glycine is a well-documented cytoprotective agent. However, whether it has a protective effect against myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in vivo is still unknown. By using an open-chest anesthetized rat model, we found that glycine reduced the infarct size by 21% in ischemia-reperfusion injury rats compared with that in the vehicle-treated MI/R rats. The left ventricular ejection fraction ...

AIM The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of sodium nitroprusside in the reduction of the intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury as a nitric oxide donor after intraperitoneal administration. METHODS The histopathological examinations and tissue malonyldialdehyde levels of 35 Wistar albino rats that were subjected to ischemia-reperfusion, were performed in 5 groups. The groups ...

Ischemia/reperfusion injury refers to the tissue damage which occurs when blood supply returns to tissue after a period of ischemia [1]. Clinically, patients with coronary artery disease are often subjected to coronary reperfusion after cardiac arrest, interventional recanalization, myocardial infarction, coronary spasm or thorombosis [2]. Recently, myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury and it...
