From: Gadolinium decreases inflammation related to myocardial ischemia and reperfusion injury
Gadolinium chloride decreases Alpha naphthyl acetate esterase activity in the reperfused myocardium. Rats were either treated with vehicle or GdCl3 either before 30 min ischemia and 120 min reperfusion or a Sham procedure. Alpha naphthyl acetate esterase activity was measured after 120 min reperfusion in IR Control and IR + GdCl3 groups and at a comparable time point in Sham Control and Sham + GdCl3 groups. Data is mean ± SD, n = 6/group, * = p < 0.05 vs. IR control.
