Abstract:

Ischemic disease is a common pathophysiological phenomenon which might cause serious complications when occurred in the vital organs such as heart and brain. Reperfusion can significantly reduce infarct size, but may result in ischemia-reperfusion injury at the same time. Numerous studies have shown that preconditioning is a powerful intervention to alleviate ischemia/reperfusion injury.The mechanisms include suppression of oxidative stress response, inhibition of reactive oxygen species(ROS) and nitric oxide(NO) release, reduction of intracellular calcium overload, activation of mitochondrial ATP-sensitive potassium chanels,and decreasing inflammation response. In this paper, the preventive effect and mechanism of preconditioning on ischemia/reperfusion injury were reviewed.

Key words: ischemia/reperfusion injury, preconditioning, oxidative stress, intracellular calcium overload, inflammation response
