Preventive Treatment with Ketamine Attenuates the Ischaemia-Reperfusion Response in a Chronic Postischaemia Pain Model

Figure 1

Hindpaw temperatures of KE, MP, and NS groups on the ipsilateral (a) and contralateral side (b) from baseline before ischaemia until the first 7 days after reperfusion. The temperature in group KE was lower in the ipsilateral side, compared with MP () and NS () groups. However, the difference was only obvious up to the 6th hour after reperfusion. Group KE also had decreased hindpaw temperature on the contralateral side during the same period, compared with group NS (); and .
