Pharmacological postconditioning against myocardial infarction with a slow-releasing hydrogen sulfide donor, GYY4137 [PDF]
Exogenous hydrogen sulfide (H2S) protects against myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury but the mechanism of action is unclear. The present study investigated the effect of GYY4137, a slow-releasing H2S donor, on myocardial infarction given specifically

Introduction: Ischemic postconditioning has been recognized as effective in the prevention of reperfusion injury in situations of ischemia and reperfusion in various organs and tissues. However, it remains unclear what would be the best way to accomplish

Hyperglycemia raises the threshold of levosimendan- but not milrinone-induced postconditioning in rat hearts [PDF]
Background The authors examined whether milrinone and levosimendan could exert cardiac postconditioning effects in rats under normoglycemia and hyperglycemia, and whether the effects could be mediated by mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP).

Function and mechanism of toll-like receptors in cerebral ischemic tolerance: from preconditioning to treatment [PDF]
Increasing evidence suggests that toll-like receptors (TLRs) play an important role in cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury. The endogenous ligands released from ischemic neurons activate the TLR signaling pathway, resulting in the production of a large ...

Mitochondrial oxidative stress, calcium and dynamics in cardiac ischaemia‐reperfusion injury
Abstract figure legend Heart attack causes ischaemia–reperfusion injury in cardiomyocytes. Mitochondria generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), leading to oxidative stress. High levels of mitochondrial calcium (Ca2+) activate the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP), and excess ROS levels can lower the Ca2+ required to activate the mPTP ...

Morphine and remifentanil-induced cardioprotection: its experimental and clinical outcomes [PDF]
During the past few decades, a large number of animal studies demonstrated that commonly used opioids could provide cardioprotection against ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury.

Remote pharmacological post-conditioning by intrathecal morphine: Cardiac protection from spinal opioid receptor activation [PDF]
Background: Intrathecal morphine pre-conditioning attenuates cardiac ischemia-reperfusion injury via activation of central opioid receptors. We hypothesized that intrathecal morphine also post-conditions the myocardium in the rat.

HIF‐1α/Netrin‐4 Axis Mediates RIPC‐Induced Angiogenesis and Neurogenesis After Ischemic Stroke
ABSTRACT Remote ischemic postconditioning (RIPC) confers neuroprotection in ischemic stroke partly via promoting angiogenesis and neurogenesis, but its precise molecular mechanisms remain unclear; here, we investigated the role of the secreted guidance protein Netrin‐4 (NTN4) and its upstream regulator hypoxia‐inducible factor 1α (HIF‐1α) in mediating ...

Ischemic postconditioning fails to protect against neonatal cerebral stroke. [PDF]
The lack of efficient neuroprotective strategies for neonatal stroke could be ascribed to pathogenic ischemic processes differentiating adults and neonates. We explored this hypothesis using a rat model of neonatal ischemia induced by permanent occlusion
