Furthermore, it is well known that pathophysiological features of lethal reperfusion injury include oncosis, hypercontracture, large generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), over inflammatory response, and mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MPTP) opening.[1],[10],[11] Previous in vivo studies considered these pathophysiological characteristics as the most important determinants for the occurrence of MIRI.
