Ischemic preconditioning increases endothelial progenitor cell number to attenuate partial nephrectomy-induced ischemia/reperfusion injury.
OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to investigate the role of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) in the modulation of ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) in a partial nephrectomy (PN) rat model using early-phase ischemic preconditioning (IPC). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Ninety male Sprague-Dawle...
