STRATEGIES TO REDUCE I/R DAMAGE Antioxidants (N-acetilcistein, Alfa-tocoferol, Allopurinol) Anti TNF-α, Anti ICAM-1, Anti P-selectin Adenosine, L-arginine, Cerulein Genetic therapy (HO-1, IL-13, NFκB) Intermitent Occlusion Ischemic Preconditioning (IPC) Hypothermia
HYPOTHERMIA Mechanisms of Action Metabolism reduction RLO release reduction Less neutrophilic infiltration Reduced inflammation Body temperature reduction or temperature reduction of an organ submitted to ischemia
ISCHEMIC PRECONDITIONING Mechanisms of action ATP consum reduction Cellular metabolism reduction RLO release reduction Mitochondrial integrity preservation Reduce citokines release Leukocyte activity attenuation Apoptosis reduction From Pasupathy et al,2001 Short periods of ischemia and reperfusion protect the organ during long periods of ischemia Murray et al, 1986

CONCLUSIONS • Model stable and reliable • Synergism on membrane lipidic peroxidation with combined Hypothermia and PCI • Induction of 26ºC Hypothermia, associated or not to PCI, leads to attenuation of hepatocellular damage and early recovery of hepatic function • Mechanisms are very likely related to reduced oxidative stress and ATP preservation
