Postischemic treatment with anesthetic agents, such as remifentanil, sevoflurane, and morphine, has been suggested to induce cardioprotective effects in normal rats [10-12], while additional studies have shown that the
cardioprotection of ischemic postconditioning and some anesthetic treatment may be blocked or abrogated in pathological conditions such as diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, and hyperglycemia [10-13].
