| '''Reperfusion injury''' refers to damage to [[tissue (biology)|tissue]] caused when [[blood]] supply returns to the tissue after a period of [[ischemia]]. The absence of [[oxygen]] and [[nutrient]]s from blood creates a condition in which the restoration of [[circulatory system|circulation]] results in [[inflammation]] and [[oxidation|oxidative]] damage through the induction of [[oxidative stress]] rather than restoration of normal function.

| The damage of reperfusion injury is due in part to the [[inflammatory response]] of damaged tissues. [[White blood cell]]s carried to the area by the newly returning blood release a host of [[cytokine|inflammatory factors]] such as [[interleukin]]s as well as [[reactive oxygen species|free radicals]] in response to tissue damage

Damage to the cell's membrane may in turn cause the release of more free radicals. Such reactive species may also act indirectly in [[redox signaling]] to turn on [[apoptosis]]. Leukocytes may also build up in small [[capillary|capillaries]], obstructing them and leading to more ischemia<ref name="WMClark" />.

| Reperfusion injury plays a part in the [[brain]]'s [[ischemic cascade]], which is involved in [[stroke]] and [[brain trauma]]. Repeated bouts of ischemia and reperfusion injury also are thought to be a factor leading to the formation and failure to [[wound healing|heal]] of [[chronic wound]]s such as [[pressure sore]]s and [[diabetic foot]] [[ulcer]]s<ref name="TMustoe">{{cite journal | author=Mustoe T. | title=Understanding chronic wounds: a unifying hypothesis on their pathogenesis and implications for therapy | journal=AMERICAN JOURNAL OF SURGERY | volume=187 | issue=5A | year=2004 | pages=65S-70S | id=PMID 15147994}}</ref>. Continuous pressure limits blood supply and causes ischemia, and the inflammation occurs during reperfusion. As this process is repeated, it eventually damages tissue enough to cause a [[wound]]<ref name="TMustoe" />.

| In prolonged ischemia (60 minutes or more), [[hypoxanthine]] is formed as breakdown product of [[Adenosine triphosphate|ATP]] metabolism. The enzyme ''[[xanthine dehydrogenase]]'' is converted to ''[[xanthine oxidase]]'' as a result of the higher availability of oxygen. This oxidation results in molecular oxygen being converted into highly reactive [[superoxide]] and [[hydroxyl]] [[Radical (chemistry)|radicals]]. Xanthine oxidase also produces [[uric acid]], which may act as both a prooxidant and as a scavenger of reactive species such as peroxinitrite. Excessive [[nitric oxide]] produced during reperfusion reacts with [[superoxide]] to produce the potent reactive species [[peroxynitrite]]. Such radicals and reactive oxygen species attack cell membrane lipids, proteins, and glycosaminoglycans, causing further damage. They may also initiate specific biological processes by [[redox signaling]].

| [[Glisodin]], a [[dietary supplement]] derived from [[superoxide dismutase]] (SOD) and wheat [[gliadin]], has been studied for its ability to mitigate [[ischemia]]-reperfusion injury. A study of [[aortic cross-clamping]] (a common procedure in [[cardiac surgery]]), demonstrated a strong potential benefit with further research ongoing. | | '''[[Reperfusion injury medical therapy|Medical Therapy]]''' |
