This study aimed to investigate the effects of fullerene C60 on rat liver tissue in a liver ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) model under sevoflurane anesthesia to evaluate the ability of nanoparticles to prevent hepatic complications. A total of 36 adult female Wistar Albino rats were divided into six groups, each containing six groups as follows: sham group (Group S), fullerene C60 group (Group FC60), ischemia-reperfusion group (Group IR), ischemia-reperfusion-sevoflurane group (Group IR-Sevo), ischemia-reperfusion-fullerene C60 group (Group IR-FC60), and ischemia-reperfusion-fullerene C60-sevoflurane group (Group IR-FC60-Sevo). Fullerene C60 100 mg/kg was administered to IR-FC60 and IR-FC60-Sevo groups.
