Local and Remote Postconditioning Decrease Intestinal Injury in a Rabbit Ischemia/Reperfusion Model

Figure 1

Experimental protocol. (a) Sham: laparotomy exposing the SMA and LFA; (b) I/R: 30 min of SMA occlusion followed by 120 min reperfusion with the LFA intact; (c) LIPo: 3 cycles of 30 s reperfusion-reocclusion of SMA were applied at the onset of SMA reperfusion; (d) RIPo: 2 cycles of 5 min reperfusion-reocclusion of the LFA were applied when SMA was occluded for 10 min and at the time of SMA reperfusion.
