The mechanism of Intralipid®-mediated cardioprotection complex IV inhibition by the active metabolite, palmitoylcarnitine, generates reactive oxygen species and activates reperfusion injury salvage kinases.

Intralipid® administration at reperfusion elicits protection against myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury.
