## Abstract While the sequence of biochemical and cellular events in the pathogenesis of ischemia/reperfusion injury is increasingly well understood, the way that these processes interact at the level of microcirculation to promote a distinctive reperfusion injury is less well defined. It is becomi

✦ Synopsis
Abstract
This article provides a concise review on the potential causes of ischemia‐induced reperfusion (I/R) injury and pharmacologic intervention in the skeletal muscle. Special emphasis is placed on the recent observation of the acute ischemic preconditioning phenomenon for prevention of I/R injury in skeletal muscle. Finally, the mechanism of ischemic preconditioning and its clinical applications for augmentation of skeletal muscle tolerance to prolonged ischemic insult are discussed. © 1993 Wiley‐Liss Inc.

## Abstract Necrosis was considered to be the solo mechanism for ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)‐induced cell death. Recent evidence from I/R models of the heart, liver, kidney, and brain indicates that apoptosis is a major contributor to I/R‐induced cell death. However, evidence of I/R‐induced apoptosi
