|---|---|
| Main Objective: 1) To evaluate the effects of HO – 1 induction on the time course of high-energy phosphate levels (ATP, phosphocreatine and inorganic phosphate) and pH as well as oxygenation levels in ischemic skeletal muscle tissue continuously starting before the onset of ischemia ending about 15 minutes after reperfusion. ;Secondary Objective: 2) To evaluate the short and long time effects of HO – 1 induction on cell surface markers of activation after ischemic injury measured by flow cytometry 3) To assess whether HO – 1 induction prevents or alleviates skeletal muscle IR injury. ;Primary end point(s): MRI target variables will be summarized to obtain the arithmetic mean, standard deviation, median, coefficient of variation (%), minimum, and maximum. Effects of HO-1 induction on high-energy phosphates or tissue oxygen saturation will be expressed as % change from baseline (?%) (p < 0.05 will be considered the level of significance). All effects will be assessed by repeated measurements ANOVA. | — |
