Abstract:Reduced coronary perfusion in acute coronary syndrome causes myocardial ischemia. Also the effect of reactive oxygen species (ROS) induced ischemia‐reperfusion injury contributes to myocardial lesion. ROS generation in hypoxia is modulated by the redox state. Fasting before exposure to ischemia should increase ketogenesis that consumes reduced coenzymes and consequently reduces free radical damage.We investigated whether the 3‐day fasting affects production of ROS, incidence of ventricular arrhythmias during i… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
