The effects of local ischemic preconditioning and topical hypothermia in renal ischemia/reperfusion injury in rats

Acta cir. bras; 32 (10), 2017
Abstract Purpose: Topical hypothermia and local ischemic preconditioning have been shown to reduce renal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury individually. We examined whether combination of both strategies lessens renal I/R injury. Methods: Post right nephrectomy, 40 male Wistar rats were randomly assi...

The renoprotective effect of oral Tadalafil pretreatment on ischemia/reperfusion injury in rats

Acta cir. bras; 32 (2), 2017
Abstract Purpose: To evaluate the effect of tadalafil in renal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in rats Methods: Group I/R saline rats (n=6) were subjected to 45 minutes of left renal ischemia and treated with saline; the I/R tadalafil rats (n=6) received oral 10mg/kg tadalafil microemulsion one hou...
