RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of curcumin on lung damage following ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury after hind limb ligation. METHODS: Forty Wistar rats were divided into four groups: sham (G1), I/R (G2), curcumin plus sham (G3), and curcumin plus I/R (G4). Curcumin was administered (200 mg/kg) daily for 2 weeks before the study. I/R was induced by placement of rubber tourniquets at the greater trochanters for 2 h, followed by reperfusion for 4 h. RESULTS: Curcumin pretreatment had significantly lower level of malondialdehydes and higher level of superoxide dismutase in the lung tissues (p<0.05) than the I/R group. Glutathione peroxidase activity was not significantly different among the groups (p>0.05). I/R caused severe histopathological injury (p<0.05), including inflammatory cell infiltration and intra-alveolar hemorrhage. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that curcumin pretreatment has protective effects against lung injury induced by muscle I/R.

RESUMO

The purpose of the present study was to assess the effects of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) on skeletal muscle ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injuries in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. Twenty male Wistar rats were randomly assigned into two experimental groups, as follows: the diabetic IR group (G1, n = 10) and the diabetic IR + LLLT group (G2, n = 10). Ischemia was induced in anesthetized rats from the right femoral artery clipping for 2 h, followed by a reperfusion for 24 h. Then, the laser irradiation (K30 handheld probe, AZOR, Technica, Russia, 650 nm, 30 mW, surface area = 1 cm(2), energy density = 1.8 J/cm(2)) was carried out by irradiating the rats over a unique point on the skin over the middle region of the right gastrocnemius muscle belly three times (every 8 h), starting after initiating the reperfusion for 3 min. At the end of the reperfusion period, rats were anaesthetized and blood samples were collected and used for the estimation of pO2, pCO2, pH, HCO3, serum creatine phosphokinase (CPK), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). Subsequently, the right gastrocnemius muscle samples were taken for wet/dry weight ratio assessment and histological/biochemical examination. The pO2, pCO2, HCO3, and pH levels were similar for both groups (P > 0.05). The serum LDH and CPK levels were significantly lower (P < 0.05) for G2 compared to G1. In comparison to G1, tissue malondialdehyde level in G2 was significantly decreased (P < 0.05). In G2, superoxide dismutase activity was significantly increased compared to G1 (P < 0.05). Unlike G2, a significant decrease in the activity of catalase was observed in G1 (P < 0.05). The wet/dry ratio in G1 was significantly higher than that of G2 (P < 0.05). Histological examination confirmed that the extent of muscle changes in G1 was higher than G2 (P < 0.05). Finally, according to this study, LLLT has a beneficial effect on the IR muscle injury treatment in the diabetic rats. Therefore, we suggest that further research needs to be conducted using different laser parameters and examining response over a longer period of tissue recovery.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) and pentoxifylline in a model of remote organ injury after hind-limb ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) in rats, the lungs being the remote organ system. METHODS: Thirty-five male Wistar rats were assigned to one of five conditions (n = 7/group), as follows: sham operation (control group); hind-limb ischemia, induced by clamping the left femoral artery, for 2 h, followed by 24 h of reperfusion (I/R group); and hind-limb ischemia, as above, followed by intraperitoneal injection (prior to reperfusion) of 150 mg/kg of NAC (I/R+NAC group), 40 mg/kg of pentoxifylline (I/R+PTX group), or both (I/R+NAC+PTX group). At the end of the trial, lung tissues were removed for histological analysis and assessment of oxidative stress. RESULTS: In comparison with the rats in the other groups, those in the I/R group showed lower superoxide dismutase activity and glutathione levels, together with higher malondialdehyde levels and lung injury scores (p < 0.05 for all). Interstitial inflammatory cell infiltration of the lungs was also markedly greater in the I/R group than in the other groups. In addition, I/R group rats showed various signs of interstitial edema and hemorrhage. In the I/R+NAC, I/R+PTX, and I/R+NAC+PTX groups, superoxide dismutase activity, glutathione levels, malondialdehyde levels, and lung injury scores were preserved (p < 0.05 for all). The differences between the administration of NAC or pentoxifylline alone and the administration of the two together were not significant for any of those parameters (p > 0.05 for all). CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that NAC and pentoxifylline both protect lung tissue from the effects of skeletal muscle I/R. However, their combined use does not appear to increase the level of that protection.

Objetivo : Investigar os efeitos da N-acetilcisteína (NAC) e pentoxifilina em um modelo de lesão pulmonar remota após isquemia/reperfusão (I/R) de membro posterior em ratos. Métodos : Trinta e cinco ratos Wistar machos foram divididos em cinco grupos (n = 7/grupo), cada qual submetido ao seguinte: operação simulada (grupo controle); isquemia de membro posterior, induzida por pinçamento da artéria femoral esquerda por 2 h, seguida por de 24 h de reperfusão (grupo I/R); e isquemia de membro posterior, como descrito acima, seguida de injeção intraperitoneal (antes da reperfusão) de 150 mg/kg de NAC (grupo I/R+NAC), 40 mg/kg de pentoxifilina (grupo I/R+PTX) ou ambas (grupo I/R+NAC+PTX). Ao final do experimento, tecidos pulmonares foram removidos para análise histológica e avaliação do estresse oxidativo. Resultados : Comparados aos ratos dos outros grupos, os do grupo I/R apresentaram menor atividade de superóxido dismutase e menores níveis de glutationa, além de maiores níveis de malondialdeído e maiores escores de lesão pulmonar (p < 0,05 para todos). Infiltração celular inflamatória intersticial dos pulmões também foi bem maior no grupo I/R do que nos outros grupos. Além disso, os ratos do grupo I/R apresentaram vários sinais de edema intersticial e hemorragia. Nos grupos I/R+NAC, I/R+PTX e I/R+NAC+PTX, a atividade de superóxido dismutase, níveis de glutationa, níveis de malondialdeído e escores de lesão pulmonar foram preservados (p < 0,05 para todos). As diferenças entre a administração de NAC ou pentoxifilina isoladamente e a das duas combinadas não foi significativa para nenhum desses parâmetros (p > 0,05 para todos). Conclusões : Nossos resultados sugerem que tanto NAC quanto pentoxifilina protegem o tecido pulmonar dos efeitos de I/R de músculo esquelético. Entretanto, seu uso combinado não parece aumentar o nível dessa proteção.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to investigate the role of curcumin in remote testicular injury caused by hindlimb ischemia reperfusion (IR). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Forty male Wistar rats were allocated to four groups: sham (G1), sham + curcumin (G2), IR (G3) and IR + curcumin (G4). Curcumin 200 mg/kg was administered intraperitoneally 2 h prior to IR induction. Lower extremities were subjected to IR induced by infrarenal aortic occlusion for 2 h, followed by 6 h of reperfusion. The rats were euthanized and the testes were removed. Glutathione peroxidase (GPx), superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA), catalase (CAT) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) activities and histopathological damage scores were determined in right testicular tissues. Left testes were used for wet/dry weight ratio measurement. RESULTS: Activities of SOD and CAT in testicular tissues were significantly decreased by IR, but curcumin pretreatment increased these levels (P < 0.05). MPO activity in testicular tissues in the G3 was significantly higher than in the G4 (P < 0.05). Significantly increased MDA levels in testicular tissues by IR were decreased by curcumin pretreatment (P < 0.05). Testis tissues showed a significant increase in GPx activity compared to the IR group when curcumin was applied. The wet/dry weight ratio of testicular tissues in the G3 was significantly higher than in the other groups (P < 0.05). In addition, specimens from the G3 had a significantly greater histological injury than those from the G4 (P < 0.05). There were no significant differences in tissue MDA, MPO, SOD, CAT and GPx activities, histological changes and wet/dry weight ratio between the G1, G2 and G4. CONCLUSIONS: According to the findings, we conclude that curcumin has preventive effects in the testicular injury induced by hindlimb IR in rats.

RESUMO

AbstractBackground:Organ injury occurs not only during periods of ischemia but also during reperfusion. It is known that ischemia reperfusion (IR) causes both remote organ and local injuries.Objective:This study evaluated the effects of tramadol on the heart as a remote organ after acute hindlimb IR.Methods:Thirty healthy mature male Wistar rats were allocated randomly into three groups: Group I (sham), Group II (IR), and Group III (IR + tramadol). Ischemia was induced in anesthetized rats by left femoral artery clamping for 3 h, followed by 3 h of reperfusion. Tramadol (20 mg/kg, intravenous) was administered immediately prior to reperfusion. At the end of the reperfusion, animals were euthanized, and hearts were harvested for histological and biochemical examination.Results:The levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) were higher in Groups I and III than those in Group II (p < 0.05). In comparison with other groups, tissue malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in Group II were significantly increased (p < 0.05), and this increase was prevented by tramadol. Histopathological changes, including microscopic bleeding, edema, neutrophil infiltration, and necrosis, were scored. The total injuryscore in Group III was significantly decreased (p < 0.05) compared with Group II.Conclusion:From the histological and biochemical perspectives, treatment with tramadol alleviated the myocardial injuries induced by skeletal muscle IR in this experimental model.


ResumoFundamento:Lesões a órgãos ocorrem não apenas durante períodos de isquemia, mas paradoxalmente, também durante a reperfusão. Sabe-se que a reperfusão pós-isquêmica (RPI) causa lesões tanto remotas quanto locais no órgão afetado.Objetivo:Este estudo avaliou os efeitos do tramadol no coração como órgão remoto, após RPI aguda dos membros posteriores.Métodos:Trinta ratos Wistar, machos, adultos e saudáveis, foram distribuídos aleatoriamente em três grupos: Grupo I (controle), Grupo II (RPI) e Grupo III (RPI + tramadol). Isquemia foi induzida em ratos anestesiados através do pinçamento da artéria femoral esquerda por 3 horas, seguidas de 3 horas de reperfusão. Tramadol foi administrado (20 mg/kg, IV) imediatamente antes da reperfusão. Ao final da reperfusão, os animais foram sacrificados e seus corações coletados para exames histológicos e bioquímicos.Resultados:Os níveis de superóxido-dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) e glutationa-peroxidase (GPx) foram maiores nos grupos I e III que no grupo II (p < 0.05). Em comparação aos outros grupos, os níveis tissulares de malondialdeído (MDA) estavam significativamente mais elevados no grupo II (p < 0.05), o que foi evitado pelo uso de tramadol. Foram pontuadas as alterações histopatológicas, incluindo micro-hemorragia, edema, infiltração por neutrófilos e necrose. A pontuação total das lesões do grupo III foi significativamente menor (p < 0.05) em comparação ao grupo II.Conclusão:Do ponto de vista histológico e bioquímico, o tratamento com tramadol diminuiu as lesões miocárdicas induzidas pela RPI da musculatura esquelética neste modelo experimental.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: The objective of the present study was to investigate the role of pentoxifylline (PTX) on remote testicular injury caused by unilateral hind limb ischemia/reperfusion of rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty healthy male Wistar rats were allocated randomly into two groups: ischemia/reperfusion (IR group) and ischemia/reperfusion + pentoxifylline (IR+PTX group). Ischemia was induced by placement of a rubber tourniquet at the greater trochanter for 2h. Rats in IR+PTX group received PTX (40 mg/kg IP) before the reperfusion period. At 24h after reperfusion, testes were removed and levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA), catalase (CAT) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity were determined in testicular tissues. Three rats of each group were used for wet/ dry weight ratio measurement. Testicular tissues were also examined histopathologically under light microscopy. RESULTS: Activities of SOD and CAT in testicular tissues were decreased by ischemia/ reperfusion (P<0.05). Significantly increased MDA levels in testicular tissues were decreased by PTX treatment (P<0.05). MPO activity in testicular tissues in the IR group was significantly higher than in the IR+PTX group (P<0.05). The wet/dry weight ratio of testicular tissues in the IR group was significantly higher than in the IR+PTX group (P<0.05). Histopathologically, there was a statistically significant difference between two groups (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: According to histological and biochemical findings, we conclude that PTX has preventive effects in the testicular injury induced by hind limb ischemia/reperfusion.

RESUMO

Previous studies have shown that low-level laser therapy (LLLT) promotes posttraumatic nerve regeneration. The objective of the present study was to assess the efficacy of 685-nm LLLT at the dosage of 3 J/cm(2) in the functional recovery of the sciatic nerve in rats following crushing injury. The left sciatic nerves of 20 male Wistar rats were subjected to controlled crush injury by a hemostatic tweezers, and the rats were randomly allocated into two experimental groups as follows: control group and laser group. Laser irradiation (685 nm wavelength; 15 mW, CW, 3 J/cm(2), spot of 0.028 cm(2)) was started on the postsurgical first day, above the site of injury, and was continued for 21 consecutive days. Functional recovery was evaluated at 3 weeks postoperatively by measuring the sciatic functional index (SFI) and sciatic static index (SSI) at weekly intervals. The treated rats showed improvement in motion pattern. The SFI and SSI results were significant when comparing two groups on the 14th and 21st postoperative days (p < 0.05). There were intra-group differences detected in laser group in different periods (p < 0.05). Low-level laser irradiation, with the parameters used in the present study, accelerated and improved sciatic nerve function in rats after crushing injury.

RESUMO

Low-level laser therapy has been shown to decrease ischemia-reperfusion injuries in the skeletal muscle by induction of synthesis of antioxidants and other cytoprotective proteins. Recently, the light-emitting diode (LED) has been used instead of laser for the treatment of various diseases because of its low operational cost compared to the use of a laser. The objective of this work was to analyze the effects of LED therapy at 904 nm on skeletal muscle ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats. Thirty healthy male Wistar rats were allocated into three groups of ten rats each as follows: normal (N), ischemia-reperfusion (IR), and ischemia-reperfusion + LED (IR + LED) therapy. Ischemia was induced by right femoral artery clipping for 2 h followed by 2 h of reperfusion. The IR + LED group received LED irradiation on the right gastrocnemius muscle (4 J/cm(2)) immediately and 1 h following blood supply occlusion for 10 min. At the end of trial, the animals were euthanized and the right gastrocnemius muscles were submitted to histological and histochemical analysis. The extent of muscle damage in the IR + LED group was significantly lower than that in the IR group (P < 0.05). In comparison with other groups, tissue malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in the IR group were significantly increased (P < 0.05). The muscle tissue glutathione (GSH), superoxide dismutases (SOD), and catalase (CAT) levels in the IR group were significantly lower than those in the subjects in other groups. From the histological and histochemical perspective, the LED therapy has alleviated the metabolic injuries in the skeletal muscle ischemia reperfusion in this experimental model.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: It is known that ischemia-reperfusion causes remote organ injury as well as local injury. In traditional systems of medicine, many plants have been documented to be useful for the treatment of various disorders including oxidative esters. This study was designed to investigate whether Otostegia persica extraction pretreatment has a protective effect against renal injury induced by hindlimb ischemia-reperfusion. METHODS: Forty male Wistar rats were allocated into five groups as follows: Control, Sham, Otostegia persica, ischemia-reperfusion and ischemia-reperfusion+Otostegia persica groups. Rats in Otostegia persica and ischemia-reperfusion+Otostegia persica groups received Otostegia persica extraction (300 mg/kg) orally 2 days prior to operation. Hindlimb ischemia was induced by clamping the femoral artery for 2 h. After 24 h of reperfusion, blood and urine samples were obtained for kidney function tests and the kidneys were removed for histological analysis and oxidative stress measurement. RESULTS: The decrease in glomerular filtration rate induced by reperfusion was significantly improved by Otostegia persica extraction administration (P<0.05), which resulted in the decrease in serum urea and creatinine concentrations. Urinary creatinine significantly decreased in ischemia-reperfusion group compared to the other groups (P<0.05). Urinary excretion rate, water intake and the ratio of kidney/body weight significantly increased in animals with reperfusion injury as compared with other groups (P<0.05). On histological examination, rats pretreated with Otostegia persica extraction had nearly normal morphology. Skeletal muscle ischemia-reperfusion produced a significant increase in renal tissue malondialdehyde level, while pretreatment with Otostegia persica extraction was associated with a significantly lower malondialdehyde level (P<0.05). Renal tissue catalase and superoxide dismutase activity and glutathione level were significantly (P < 0.05) decreased by hindlimb ischemia-reperfusion. The increases in these parameters were decreased by pretreatment with Otostegia persica extraction. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study showed that Otostegia persica extraction pretreatment significantly protected the renal injury from skeletal muscle ischemia-reperfusion.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Tramadol has been shown to decrease ischemia-reperfusion injuries in myocardial or brain tissues. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of tramadol on ischemia-reperfusion injury in a rat hind limb ischemia-reperfusion model. METHODS: Forty-five healthy adult male Wistar rats were randomized into three experimental groups as follows: Sham, Ischemia-reperfusion and Ischemia-reperfusion + tramadol groups. Ischemia was induced in anesthetized rats by left femoral artery clipping for 2 h followed by 24 h of reperfusion. Tramadol (20 mg/kg) was administered intravenously immediately prior to reperfusion. Blood pH, pO2, pCO2, HCO3, creatine phosphokinase (CPK), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) as well as plasma malondialdehyde (MDA) were measured at the end of the reperfusion. Left gastrocnemius muscle samples were taken for histological and biochemical examination. RESULTS: The pH and pCO2 were similar in all study groups, with no statistical significance. pO2 and HCO3 levels presented the highest elevation in sham and Ischemia-reperfusion + tramadol groups, as compared to Ischemia-reperfusion group (P < 0.05). The extent of muscle changes in the ischemia-reperfusion + tramadol group was significantly lower than ischemia-reperfusion group (P < 0.05). In comparison with other groups, serum and tissue MDA levels in ischemia-reperfusion group were significantly increased (P < 0.05). The muscle tissue glutathione (GSH), superoxide dismutases (SOD) and catalase (CAT) levels in the Ischemia-reperfusion group were significantly lower than the other groups (P < 0.05). Wet/dried weight ratio in ischemia-reperfusion group was significantly higher (P < 0.05) than subjects in other groups. CONCLUSIONS: From the histological, histochemical and serum biochemical perspective, the treatment with tramadol has alleviated the metabolic injuries in the skeletal muscle ischemia and reperfusion in this experimental model.

RESUMO

Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) is a major mechanism of liver injury following hepatic surgery or transplantation. Despite numerous reports on the role and relics of low-intensity laser therapy (LILT) in many organs, the potential effects of LILT on hepatic ischemia-reperfusion have not been explored. This study was aimed to investigate the impresses of LILT applied to the skin following hepatic ischemia and reperfusion. Thirty-six healthy male Wistar rats were allocated into three groups of twelve animals each as follows: Sham, Ischemia-reperfusion (IR), and Ischemia-reperfusion with laser treatment (IR+LILT). Hepatic ischemia was induced by clamping the arterial and portal venous for 45 min. A laser diode (400 mW, 804 nm) was applied to the skin surface at the anatomical site of the liver at a dose of 3 J/cm(2), and the duration of irradiation was selected 120 s with 15-min interval after beginning the reperfusion. Animals were maintained under anesthesia and sacrificed 6 h subsequent reperfusion. Hepatic samples were evaluated for histological assessment and biochemistry analysis. Serum aminotransferase levels, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) levels, malondialdehyde (MDA), and glutathione (GSH) levels were significantly lower (P < 0.05) in the irradiated group compared to the I/R group during the 6 h after reperfusion. The number of histopathological changes in the hepatic tissues was significantly lower in the treated group (P < 0.05). These observations suggest that LILT applied in transcutaneous manner effectively improves hepatic injuries after ischemia-reperfusion period in rats.

RESUMO

t is known that ischemia reperfusion causes remote organ injury as well as local injury. The aim of this study was to investigate whether N-acetylcysteine has a protective effect against testicular injury after skeletal muscle ischemia reperfusion. Twenty male Wistar rats were allocated to two groups: ischemia reperfusion (control group) and ischemia reperfusion + N-acetylcysteine (treatment group). All animals underwent 2 h of ischemia by occlusion of the femoral artery and 24 h of reperfusion. Rats in treatment group received N-acetylcysteine (150 mg/kg IV) before the reperfusion period. After the reperfusion period, testes were removed for histopathological and biochemical studies. The blood samples were collected for evaluation of serum malondialdehyde (MDA) and nitric oxide (NO) production levels. The MDA levels in testes homogenates were found to be significantly decreased in treatment group (p < 0.05). Treatment of N-acetylcysteine significantly decreased serum MDA and NO levels compared to the control group (p < 0.05). In the control group, tissues showed histological changes. Histopathologically, there was a significant difference (p < 0.05) between two groups. According to histological and biochemical findings, we conclude that N-acetylcysteine has preventive effects in the testicular injury after skeletal muscle ischemia reperfusion.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether tramadol has a protective effect against lung injury induced by skeletal muscle ischemia-reperfusion. METHODS: Twenty Wistar male rats were allocated to one of two groups: ischemia-reperfusion (IR) and ischemia-reperfusion + tramadol (IR+T). The animals were anesthetized with intramuscular injections of ketamine and xylazine (50 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg, respectively). All of the animals underwent 2-h ischemia by occlusion of the femoral artery and 24-h reperfusion. Prior to the occlusion of the femoral artery, 250 IU heparin were administered via the jugular vein in order to prevent clotting. The rats in the IR+T group were treated with tramadol (20 mg/kg i.v.) immediately before reperfusion. After the reperfusion period, the animals were euthanized with pentobarbital (300 mg/kg i.p.), the lungs were carefully removed, and specimens were properly prepared for histopathological and biochemical studies. RESULTS: Myeloperoxidase activity and nitric oxide levels were significantly higher in the IR group than in the IR+T group (p = 0.001 for both). Histological abnormalities, such as intra-alveolar edema, intra-alveolar hemorrhage, and neutrophil infiltration, were significantly more common in the IR group than in the IR+T group. CONCLUSIONS: On the basis of our histological and biochemical findings, we conclude that tramadol prevents lung tissue injury after skeletal muscle ischemia-reperfusion.

OBJETIVO: Investigar se o tramadol tem um efeito protetor contra a lesão pulmonar induzida por isquemia-reperfusão de músculo esquelético. MÉTODOS: Vinte ratos Wistar machos foram divididos em dois grupos: grupo isquemia-reperfusão (IR) e grupo isquemia-reperfusão + tramadol (IR+T). Os animais foram anestesiados com cetamina e xilazina (i.m., 50 mg/kg e 10 mg/kg, respectivamente). Todos os animais foram submetidos a 2 h de isquemia por oclusão da artéria femoral e 24 h de reperfusão. Antes da oclusão da artéria femoral, foram administrados 250 UI de heparina pela veia jugular para impedir a coagulação. Os ratos do grupo IR+T foram tratados com tramadol (20 mg/kg i.v.) imediatamente antes da reperfusão. Após o período de reperfusão, os animais foram sacrificados com pentobarbital (300 mg/kg i.p.), os pulmões foram removidos cuidadosamente, e os espécimes foram preparados adequadamente para estudos histopatológicos e bioquímicos. RESULTADOS: A atividade de mieloperoxidase e os níveis de óxido nítrico foram significativamente maiores no grupo IR que no grupo IR+T (p = 0,001 para ambos). Anormalidades histológicas, como edema intra-alveolar, hemorragia intra-alveolar e infiltração neutrofílica, foram significativamente mais frequentes no grupo IR que no grupo IR+T. CONCLUSÕES: Com base nos resultados histológicos e bioquímicos ...

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To investigate whether N-acetylcysteine has a protective effect against renal injury as a remote organ after skeletal muscle ischemia-reperfusion in rats. METHODS: Twenty Wistar male rats were divided randomly into two experimental groups: group ischemia-reperfusion (group I) and group ischemia-reperfusion + N-acetylcysteine (group II). After ketamine and xylazine anesthesia, femoral artery was exposed. All animals were undergone 2h of ischemia by occlusion femoral artery and 24h of reperfusion. Rats that were treated with N-acetylcysteine given IV at a dose of 150 mg/kg(-1), immediately before reperfusion. After 24h of reperfusion, the blood samples were collected and submitted for evaluation of plasmatic urea, creatinine values and then rats were euthanized and left kidney harvested for histopathological analysis under light microscopy. RESULTS: The urea (35±7.84 mg.dL(-1)), creatinine (1.46±0.47 mg.dL(-1)) values were significantly lower in group II (P=0.000). Renal histopathologic study in group I showed extensive distal and proximal tubular cells necrosis and sloughing of epithelial cells into the tubular lumen, cast formation in tubule and glomerul, glomerul fibrosis and hemorrhage. Histopathologically, there was a significant difference (p=0.037) between two groups. CONCLUSION: The N-acetylcysteine was able to decrease renal injury induced by skeletal muscle ischemia reperfusion in rats.

PURPOSE: To investigate whether N-acetylcysteine, a free radicals scavenger has a protective effect against lung injury as a remote organ after skeletal muscle ischemia-reperfusion. METHODS: Twenty Wistar male rats were divided randomly into two experimental groups: group ischemia-reperfusion (group I) and group ischemia-reperfusion +N-acetylcysteine (group II). All animals were undergone two hours of ischemia by occlusion femoral artery and 24h of reperfusion. Before clamped the femoral artery, 250 IU heparin was administered via the jugular vein to prevent clotting. Rats that were treated with N-acetylcysteine given IV at a dose of 150 mgkg(-1), immediately before reperfusion. After 24h of reperfusion, animals were euthanized and left lung harvested for histopathological analysis under light microscopy. RESULTS: In the group I, tissues showed histological changes with intra-alveolar edema, intra-alveolar hemorrhage and neutrophilic infiltration. Histopathologically, there was a significant difference (P = 0.005) between two groups. CONCLUSION: Administration of N-acetylcysteine treatment significantly decreased lung injury induced by skeletal muscle ischemia reperfusion according to histological findings.
