Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of heat application on ischemia-reperfusion injury to quadriceps femoris muscle of the rats. Nine weeks old male Sprague-Dawley white rats were divided into five groups: 1) control(only reperfusion following ischemia), 2) heat application before reperfusion following ischemia(PreHeat), 3) heat application after reperfusion following ischemia(PostHeat). All groups were 30 minute, 1 hour, 3 hours reperfusion after 2 hours ischemia with clamping abdominal artery, and investigate superoxide dismutase(SOD) immunohistochemical reactions for quadriceps femoris muscle of the rat. SOD immunohistochemical reaction of experimental groups were more than the control group.
