Ischemia—Reperfusion injury of the intestine is a significant problem in abdominal aortic
aneurysm surgery, small bowel transplantation, cardiopulmonary bypass, strangulated …

In experimental studies in the dog, total proximal coronary artery occlusions of up to 15
minutes result in reversible injury, meaning that the myocytes survive this insult. The 15 …

Context Conflicting information exists about whether sex differences modulate short-term
mortality following acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Objectives To investigate the …

OBJECTIVE Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists are used to treat type 2
diabetes, and transient GLP-1 administration improved cardiac function in humans after …

Practically any stimulus capable of causing injury to a tissue or organ can, when applied
close to (but below) the threshold of damage, activate endogenous protective mechanisms …

Background—Preconditioning phenomena provide evidence for adaptive responses to
ischemia that have important implications for treatment/prevention of myocardial infarction …

Not only the prevalence, but also the mortality due to ischaemic cardiovascular disease is
higher in older than in young humans, and the demographic shift towards an ageing …

Abstract Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is detrimental to cardiovascular system. Alteration
in glucose metabolism has been recognized as an important adaptive response under …

A RAPIDLY growing body of evidence indicates that volatile anesthetics protect myocardium
against reversible and irreversible ischemic injury. Identifying the mechanisms by which …

More than 10 years after its discovery, the function of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in the
cardiovascular system remains largely an enigma. Many scholars have assumed that the …
