deprivation is further aggravated upon reoxygenation. This study aimed to investigate the protective effects and underlying
mechanisms of macelignan in an experimental rat model of unilateral hind limb I/RI. Rats were divided into five
experimental groups: control, sham, I/RI, and two treatment groups receiving intravenous macelignan either before ischemia
(M1) or after ischemia (M2). Ischemia was induced by clamping the unilateral femoral artery for 3 hours, followed by a
3-hour reperfusion period. Macelignan was administered intravenously at a dose of 15 mg/kg: 60 minutes before ischemia in
the M1 group and at the onset of reperfusion in the M2 group. Blood and tissue samples were collected for biochemical and
histopathological analyses.Significant differences were observed among the groups in serum levels of alanine
aminotransferase, creatinine, lactate dehydrogenase, and creatine phosphokinase-3 (PPage(s): 893-900ISSN: 0975-1009 (Online) ; 0019-5189 (Print)Appears in Collections:
