Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are highly reactive chemical species containing oxygen,
controlled by both enzymatic and nonenzymatic antioxidant defense systems. In the heart …

Reperfusion is mandatory to salvage ischemic myocardium from infarction, but reperfusion
per se contributes to injury and ultimate infarct size. Therefore, cardioprotection beyond that …

Over the past 2 to 3 decades, several phenomena have been identified that provide
powerful protection against myocardial infarction and other sequelae of …

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 …

NO emissions from soils and ecosystems are of outstanding importance for atmospheric
chemistry. Here we review the current knowledge on processes involved in the formation …

Reperfusion therapy is the indispensable treatment of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and
must be applied as soon as possible to attenuate the ischemic insult. However, reperfusion …

A standard ischemic preconditioning (IPC) stimulus of one or more brief episodes of non-
lethal myocardial ischemia and reperfusion elicits a bi-phasic pattern of cardioprotection …

Remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) is the application of brief periods of ischemia to an
organ or tissue with the aim of inducing protection from ischemia in a distant organ. It was …

Infarct size can be limited by reducing the determinants of infarct size or increasing collateral
blood flow by treatment initiated before the ischaemic event. Reperfusion is the definitive …

Myocardial ischaemia reperfusion injury is the leading cause of death in patients with
cardiovascular disease. Interventions such as ischaemic pre and postconditioning protect …
