    Role of Ischemic Preconditioning in Liver Transplant: A Review of Literature
    (Başkent Üniversitesi, 2010-03) Macedo, Francisco Igor Bulcão; Miranda, Luiz Eduardo Correia
    Interruption of blood flow and subsequent organ reperfusion lead to significant tissue damage. This well-studied phenomenon is recognized as ischemia/reperfusion injury. Ischemic pre­conditioning refers to a mechanism in which a prior, short, ischemic period induces some protection against a subsequent prolonged ischemic and reperfusion damage. The mechanisms involved in ischemic preconditioning and its applications for clinical and basic research are discussed in this paper.
