(1) nicorandil administration before ischemia ameliorated increases in pulmonary microvascular permeability after IR in isolated rat lung preparations; (2) the protective effects of nicorandil against IR lung injury was blocked by glibenclamide as a K ATP channel blocker and ODQ as a sGC inhibitor. [6] , isoflurane-sevoflurane administration before ischemia attenuated IR injury without a significant PVR change in isolated rat lungs which was similar to the results in the present study. These results suggest that the protective effects of nicorandil after IR lung injury can be explained by the activation of a K ATP channel opener as well as that of the sGC-cGMP pathway. ./cache/cord-010994-1ynel55w.txt ./txt/cord-010994-1ynel55w.txt
