Does hypoxic preconditioning preserve antioxidant reserve in the working rat heart?
Hypoxic preconditioning enhances functional recovery and reduces cell necrosis following global ischaemia in the working rat heart. This phenomenon may, in part, be mediated through enhanced ascorbate and thiol components of the antioxidant reserve.
These findings suggest that CRP polymorphism is a potentially effective predictor of lymph node metastasis and may thus be useful for deciding on treatment strategy.
