Single-Dose Intravenous Simvastatin Treatment Attenuates Renal Injury in an Experimental Model of Ischemia-Reperfusion in the Rat

The effect of acute pretreatment with a single dose of simvastatin (1 mg/kg, i.v.; 30 min before ischemia) on renal dysfunction caused by ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in the rat was investigated. I/R injury was induced by clamping both renal vascular pedicles for 45 min, followed by 4 h of repe...
