Abstract

Background. Inflammatory events triggered by the mediators released from free oxygen radicals and infiltrated leukocytes play a direct role in formation of the ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of lidocaine on IR injury due to its anti-inflammatory properties.
