Abstract:Objective Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is tissue damage occurring when blood returns to a tissue after an ischemic phase. Reperfusion initiates a cascade of acute inflammatory processes that end in cell death, tissue malfunction, and necrosis. Edaravone (3-methy-1-pheny1-2-pyrazolin-5-one) is a powerful and unique synthetic radical scavenger. In this research, the effects of edaravone on I/R damage were investigated.
Material and Methods: 16 adult male Sprague–Dawley rats were utilized. Eight… Show more
