Abstract

Hypothermia may attenuate the progression of ischemia-induced damage in liver. Here, we determined the effects of a brief cycle of hypothermic preconditioning applied before an ischemic/reperfusion (I/R) episode in isolated perfused rat liver (IPRL) on tissue damage and oxidative stress. Rats (male, 200–250 g) were anaesthetised with sodium pentobarbital (60 mg·kg−1 i.p) and underwent laparatomy. The liver was removed and perfused in a temperature-regulated non-recirculating system. Livers were randomly divided into two groups (n = 6 each group). In the hypothermia-preconditioned group, livers were perfused with hypothermic buffer (cycle of 10 min at 22 °C plus 10 min at 37 °C) and the other group was perfused at 37 °C. Both groups were then submitted to 40 min of warm ischemia and 20 min of warm reperfusion. The level of tissue-damage indicators (alanine amino transferase, ALT; lactate dehydrogenase, LDH; and proteins), oxidative stress markers (thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances, TBARS; advanced oxidation protein products, AOPP; and glutathione, GSH) were measured in aliquots of perfusate sampled at different time intervals. Histological determinations and oxidative stress biomarkers in homogenized liver (AOPP; TBARS; nitric oxide derivatives, NOx; GSH and glutathione disulphide, GSSG) were also made in the tissue at the end. Results showed that both damage and oxidant indicators significantly decreased while antioxidant increased in hypothermic preconditioned livers. In addition, homogenized liver determinations and histological observations at the end of the protocol corroborate the results in the perfusate, confirming the utility of the perfusate as a non-invasive method. In conclusion, hypothermic preconditioning attenuates oxidative damage and appears to be a promising strategy to protect the liver against IR injury.
