Antioxidant Actions of Thymoquinone, Silymarin, and Curcumin on Experimental Aortic Ischemia-Reperfusion Model in Wistar Albino Rats

ABSTRACT Introduction: Medical improvements are needed to prevent ischemia-reperfusion injury in thoracoabdominal aortic surgery. The aim of this study was to determine the antioxidant effects of thymoquinone, silymarin, and curcumin against ischemia-reperfusion injury associated with abdominal aorta. Methods: Twenty-five Wistar albino rats were included in the study. Sham, control, and treatment (thymoquinone, silymarin, and curcumin) groups were set in equal numbers. Ischemia-reperfusion was applied by clamping (120 minutes) and de-clamping (60 minutes) the infrarenal aorta of all groups, ...
