Acute kidney injury occurs with kidney transplantation and too frequently progresses to the
clinical diagnosis of delayed graft function (DGF). Poor kidney function in the first week of …

Abstract Endothelin (ET)‐1 is a potent vasoconstrictor peptide with pro‐inflammatory,
mitogenic, and pro‐fibrotic properties that is closely involved in both normal renal physiology …

Promising effects of ischemic preconditioning in renal transplantation. Background Ischemic
preconditioning, a phenomenon induced by brief ischemia and reperfusion periods, renders …

This study reviews the current understanding of ischemic preconditioning (IP) in
experimental and clinical setting, and the mechanisms that mediate the complex processes …

Ischemia and reperfusion (I/Rp) injury is inherent to solid organ transplantation and can
result in primary nonfunction or delayed function of grafts, which is associated with a …

The damage of the endothelial glycocalyx as a consequence of ischemia and/or reperfusion
injury (IRI) following kidney transplantation has come at the spotlight of research due to …

Abstract THIS REVIEW UPDATES the current status of endothelin receptor antagonists in
the treatment of cerebral vasospasm. Recent preclinical and clinical studies are reviewed …

Background. We have previously shown that carbon monoxide (CO) inhalation at a low
concentration provides protection against cold ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury after kidney …

Background: Opium abuse as a relatively common behavior among Iranian population may
have an association with the other coronary artery disease (CAD) risk factors. Here, we …

Reperfusion injury is considered primarily an inflammatory response to oxidative stress. In
vitro, oxygen free radicals induce the formation of oxidized phospholipids with platelet …
