Abstract

Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of sodium nitroprussid (SNP) on ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats. Method: Twenty-four Sprague-Dawney rats were divided into four equal groups: group I without ischemia-reperfusion (I-R); group II with ischemia; group III with I-R; group IV with I-R and SNP. Complete bilateral hindlimb ischemia was produced by means of tourniquet occlusion of the upper thigh. Result
