Using an experimental ischemia-reperfusion model it is found that combined treatment with a-tocopherol and panthenol markedly increases the content of endogenous antioxidant tocopherol during total ischemia and reperfusion, i.e., it improves the antioxidant state of the postischemized myocardium, thus preventing possible damage caused by stepped-up production of active oxygen forms during reoxygenation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
