Abstract:
The results of this study suggest that reperfusion of ischemic myocardium may lead to the peroxisomal disorder both functionally and biochemically. An alkyl glycerol such as chimyl alcohol can protect the ischemic heart from the reperfusion injury probably by enhancing the plasmalogen synthesis.
