Retinal ischemia is a common cause of visual impairment and blindness. At the cellular
level, ischemic retinal injury consists of a self-reinforcing destructive cascade involving …

Neurons of the retina require oxygen to survive. In hypoxia, neuronal ATP production is
impaired, ATP-dependent ion pumping is reduced, transmembrane ion gradients are …

The Royal College of Surgeons (RCS) rat is an established animal model of retinitis
pigmentosa, a family of inherited retinal diseases which starts with loss of peripheral vision …

Abstract Background/Purpose The aim of this study was to investigate the role of ischemic
preconditioning (IPC) on ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)-induced injury of rat testis and determine …

Ischemic pre-conditioning (IPC) provides neuroprotection in the rat retina from the damaging
effects of severe ischemia. Recently, neuroprotection by retinal ischemic post-conditioning …

Local anesthetics are used clinically for peripheral nerve blocks, epidural anesthesia, spinal
anesthesia and pain management; large concentrations, continuous application and long …

Purpose.: Environmental stress (bright light, hypoxia) can “condition” retinal photoreceptors,
increasing their resistance to subsequent stress. The present study tests whether another …

Purpose: To use manganese‐enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MEMRI) at 25× 25×
800 μm3 to image different retinal and vascular layers in the rat retinas. Materials and …

purpose. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether bacterial lipopolysaccharide
(LPS) induces ischemic preconditioning in the rat retina, and, if so, whether nitric oxide (NO) …

Background It has been demonstrated that brief episodes of sublethal ischemia-reperfusion,
so-called ischemic preconditioning, provide powerful tissue protection in different tissues …
