Abstract
In the liver ischemia-reperfusion model, the lipid peroxide level increased during ischemic periods, while a greater increase was observed during reflow periods. The increase in the cytochrome b5 content was observed during ischemia and reflow periods. On the contrary, the cytochrome P-450 content remained unchanged during ischemic periods, but decreased during reflow periods. Bifemelane suppressed the elevation of the lipid peroxide level, the cytochrome b5 content and the decrease in cytochrome P-450 content during the period of reperfusion.
