title: Protective effect of ischemic preconditioning on liver.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the protective effect of ischemic preconditioning (IPC) on the hepatic ischemia reperfusion injury.
  
  
  METHODS
  The model of rat liver subjected to ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury was made. All 24 mice were divided randomly into 3 groups and anesthetized by 2% sodium pentobarbital (30-40 mg/kg). The enzyme activity of AST, ALT, LDH, SOD and the content of LPO were assayed respectively. Specimens were observed under transmission electron microscope.
  
  
  RESULTS
  IPC prevented the increase of ALT, AST and LDH in the blood and that of LPO in the tissues (P<0.05), and maintained high level of SOD in the tissues (P<0.05).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  IPC has protective effect on the liver function.
