From: Gadolinium decreases inflammation related to myocardial ischemia and reperfusion injury
Gadolinium chloride decreases myocardial tissue myeloperoxidase activity. Rats were either treated with vehicle or GdCl3 either before 30 min ischemia and 120 min reperfusion or a Sham procedure. Myeloperoxidase activity was measured after 120 min reperfusion in IR Control and IR + GdCl3 groups and at a comparable time point in Sham and Sham + GdCl3 groups. Data is mean ± SD, n = 3/group, * = p < 0.05 vs. IR control; § = p < 0.05 vs. Sham control.
