Abstract
Objective. This experimental study examined
the effect of erythropoietin (Epo) in
a rat model and particularly in a hypoxiareoxygenation
(HR) protocol. The effect of
that molecule was studied biochemically
using blood mean chloride (Cl) levels.
Materials and methods. 40 rats of mean
weight 247.7 g were used in the study. Cl
levels were measured at 60 min (groups A
and C) and at 120 min (groups B and D) of
reoxygenation. Erythropoietin was administered
only in groups C and D.
Results. Epo administration non-significantly
decreased Cl levels by 1.07%+0.91%
(p=0.2635). Reoxygenation time nonsignificantly
decreased Cl levels by
0.68%+0.92% (P= 0.4457). However, erythropoietin
administration and reoxygenation
time together produced a non-significant
combined effect in decreasing Cl levels
by 0.74%+0.54% (P= 0.1701).
Conclusions. Epo administration, reoxygenation
time and their interaction have
non-significant, short-term, decreasing effects
on Cl levels.
