Abstract | BACKGROUND:
Xanthine oxidase has been implicated in the pathogenesis of a wide spectrum of diseases, and is thought to be the most important source of oxygen- free radicals and cell damage during re-oxygenation of hypoxic tissues. AIMS: METHODS: Intestinal ischemia was induced by superior mesenteric artery ligation. The rats were assigned to five groups: the sham control; the intestinal ischemia/reperfusion; the allopurinol; and the febuxostat 5 and 10 mg/kg pretreated ischemia/reperfusion groups. Treatment was administered from 7 days before ischemia induction. After the reperfusion, the serum and tissues were obtained for biochemical, pharmacological, and histological studies. RESULTS: CONCLUSIONS:
