In the present study, we quantified the biochemical [thiobarbituric acid (TBA) reactants, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and vitamin E] and histologic changes in the small intestinal tissue after ischemia and/or reperfusion. Sixty-seven Wistar rats were divided into 7 groups; N group: control, A-I group: 30 min. ischemia, A-II group: 120 min. ischemia, B-I group: Declamp after 30 min. ischemia, B-II group: 30 min. reperfusion after 30 min. ischemia, B-III group: 30 min. reperfusion after 120 min. ischemia, E group: vitamin E administration 30 min. reperfusion after 30 min. ischemia. The levels of TBA reactants were significantly different between A-II and B-II, B-II and E (all p less than 0.01). For SOD, there were significant differences between N and B-I (p less than 0.01), N and E (p less than 0.05). For vitamin E, there were significant differences between A-I and B-I, A-I and B-I, B-II and E (all p less than 0.01). Histologic changes showed that the grade of tissue injury was more severe in B-I and B-II than in A-I, and was less in E than in B-II. It is suggested that vitamin E protected cells from injury due to oxygen free radicals.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007421 Intestine, Small The portion of the GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT between the PYLORUS of the STOMACH and the ILEOCECAL VALVE of the LARGE INTESTINE. It is divisible into three portions: the DUODENUM, the JEJUNUM, and the ILEUM. Small Intestine,Intestines, Small,Small Intestines
D007511 Ischemia A hypoperfusion of the BLOOD through an organ or tissue caused by a PATHOLOGIC CONSTRICTION or obstruction of its BLOOD VESSELS, or an absence of BLOOD CIRCULATION. Ischemias
D008054 Lipid Peroxides Peroxides produced in the presence of a free radical by the oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids in the cell in the presence of molecular oxygen. The formation of lipid peroxides results in the destruction of the original lipid leading to the loss of integrity of the membranes. They therefore cause a variety of toxic effects in vivo and their formation is considered a pathological process in biological systems. Their formation can be inhibited by antioxidants, such as vitamin E, structural separation or low oxygen tension.

D005609 Free Radicals Highly reactive molecules with an unsatisfied electron valence pair. Free radicals are produced in both normal and pathological processes. Free radicals include reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS). They are proven or suspected agents of tissue damage in a wide variety of circumstances including radiation, damage from environment chemicals, and aging. Natural and pharmacological prevention of free radical damage is being actively investigated. Free Radical
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D013482 Superoxide Dismutase An oxidoreductase that catalyzes the reaction between SUPEROXIDES and hydrogen to yield molecular oxygen and hydrogen peroxide. The enzyme protects the cell against dangerous levels of superoxide.
