Sevoflurane, a widely used halogenated inhalation anesthetic, and fullerenol C60, a potent antioxidant, were investigated for their effects on heart and lung tissues in lower-extremity ischemia-reperfusion injury in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic mice. : A total of 41 mice were divided into six groups: control ( = 6), diabetes-control ( = 7), diabetes-ischemia ( = 7), diabetes-ischemia-fullerenol C60 ( = 7), diabetes-ischemia-sevoflurane ( = 7), and diabetes-ischemia-fullerenol C60-sevoflurane ( = 7).
