“…Oxidative and inflammatory stresses are among the pathophysiological changes postulated to occur in response to I/R ( Aragno et al, 2003 ; Chen et al, 2007 ; Wong and Crack, 2008 ; Granger and Kvietys, 2015 ; Kurian et al, 2016 ; Rovcanin et al, 2016 ; Gao et al, 2017 ). Thus, we examined the expression of the following proteins involved in oxidative stress and inflammation: NOX2 ( Lou et al, 2018 ; Zhang et al, 2018 ), ORP150 ( Kitano et al, 2004 ; Ye et al, 2013 ), SOD1 ( Jiang et al, 2015 ; Dibas et al, 2018 ), SOD2 ( Haines et al, 2010 ; Xu et al, 2010 ), NLRP3 ( He et al, 2017 ; Liu et al, 2018 ), NF-κβ ( Su et al, 2017 ; Ye et al, 2017 , 2018 ), and IFNγ ( Sun et al, 2016 ; Ferhat et al, 2018 ). The high expression of these proteins in the present I/R model implied that even a short period of ischemia, followed by reperfusion, played a major role in exaggerating tissue damage.…”
