Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the impact of remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) on liver injury and specific cytokine expressions in a rat model of ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury.
- Thirty-six rats were divided into three groups: a control group, an I/R injury group, and an RIPC group subjected to ischemia and reperfusion cycles before liver injury.
- Results showed that RIPC significantly reduced liver necrosis and ALT levels, and it increased IL-6 expression after 1 hour of reperfusion, while IL-10 levels remained unchanged between the groups.
Overnutrition during critical developmental periods is believed to be a risk factor for the emergence of metabolic disorders in adulthood. The present study investigated the effects of pups overfeeding during lactation on offspring's insulin secretion. To study the consequences of overnutrition early in life in rats, litter size reduction has been shown to be an appropriate experimental model.
