A new light on the mechanisms of early stage liver reperfusion injury

Posted on 08. May, 2009 by admin.

Reperfusion of a previously ischemic tissue is associated with additional injury leading to structural and functional alterations in many organs including the liver. The injury induced during reperfusion is evolved a biphasic pattern consisting of an early stage started upon reoxygenation and a delayed phase. It is thought that reactive oxygen species formation during reperfusion [...]
