We read with great interest the recent article by Verweij et al. 1 The authors ascribe the beneficial effects of preoperative fasting in reducing liver ischemia/reperfusion injury to the induction of heme oxygenase 1 and various antioxidants, including superoxide dismutase 2, glutathione peroxidase
We show that brief periods of fasting induce functional changes similar to those induced by long-term dietary restriction in mice, and these changes include protection from ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. In this study, we investigated the mechanisms of protection induced by fasting, and we deter
Hepatic ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is characterized by the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), such as superoxide anions and hydrogen peroxide. The aim of this study is to investigate whether antioxidative gene delivery by our polylipid nanoparticles (PLNP) is an effective approach f
