Abstract: | We investigated the ability of ischemic preconditioning to induce expression of heat shock protein 70 (Hsp 70) and/or to increase muscle survival after ischemia-reperfusion in the rat hind limb. Ischemic preconditioning regimens tested were; 1 x 5 min of ischemia, 4 x 5 min of ischemia interrupted by 10 min of reperfusion, 1 x 10 min of ischemia or 2 x 10 min of ischemia interrupted by 15 min of reperfusion. Western blot analysis revealed only a modest induction of Hsp 70 at 24 h after preconditioning using the latter two protocols of 1 x 10 min of ischemia or 2 x 10 min. Used at 24 h prior to prolonged ischemia, neither protocol improved muscle survival measured at 24 h after reperfusion. In conclusion, ischemic preconditioning did not produce delayed protection from ischemia-reperfusion in this model and the study suggests that ischemic preconditioning is not a useful protective strategy against skeletal muscle necrosis in the long-term. |
