The isolated perfused heart has been used increasingly during the last decade as a model
for identifying actions of drugs on ventricular fibrillation (VF) induced by myocardial …

Experimental studies examining the effects of regular exercise on cardiac responses to
ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) are limited. Therefore, these experiments examined the …

Cardiac arrhythmias during ischemia/reperfusion are believed to be related to free radicals
generated in the heart especially during the period of reperfusion. Since melatonin functions …

It is known that volatile anaesthetics protect myocardial tissue against ischaemic and
reperfusion injury in vitro. In this investigation, we have determined the effects of the …

Background—Hyperthermia increases cardiac tolerance to ischemia/reperfusion injury 24
hours after the heat stress. Free radicals and redox mechanisms have been implicated in …

The cardioprotective effects of EGb 761 on the release of nitric oxide (NO), the concentration
of serum thiobarbituric acid reaction substance (TBARS), the activity of creatine kinase (CK) …

Oxyradicals have been implicated as a possible cause of reperfusion-arrhythmias (RA).
However, the use of diverse exogenous oxyradical scavengers designed to reduce RA has …

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of endogenously released
and exogenously applied endothelin-1 (ET-1) on ischaemia-induced arrhythmias. Methods …

Objectives. This study sought to delineate salvage-dependent from salvage-independent
coronary reperfusion in acute myocardial infarction and the effects on spontaneously …

Paclitaxel (Taxol) is an anticancer agent with clinical activity against various human cancer
types. Paclitaxel blocks cell division by stabilizing microtubules, a mechanism that also …
