Does acute ischaemic preconditioning protect against skeletal muscle infarction in pigs?
Does acute ischaemic preconditioning protect against skeletal muscle infarction in pigs?
Ischaemic preconditioning protects pig skeletal muscle against infarction and is associated with lower energy metabolism, though it requires a higher threshold than cardiac muscle.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Ischaemic preconditioning protects pig skeletal muscle at higher threshold than cardiac; leaves open translation to human skeletal muscle protection.
The protective effect of preconditioning can be induced in pig skeletal muscle but at a higher threshold than reported previously in pig cardiac muscle (one cycle). Preconditioning of pig skeletal muscle is associated with a lower energy metabolism during sustained ischaemia. At the present time, it is not known if this energy sparing effect is a major mechanism of ischaemic preconditioning against infarction in skeletal muscles.
