Popis: BACKGROUND Montelukast is a selective leukotriene D-4 receptor antagonist, which specifically and reversibly inhibits cysteinyl leukotriene-1 receptor. The aim of this study was to investigate the protective effect of Montelukast on skeletal muscle reperfusion injury created as acute ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury in Wistar-albino rats. METHODS The study comprised 16 male Wistar-albino rats. The rats were randomly separated into two groups as control (IR) and treatment (IR+Montelukast). Ischemia was obtained using a femoral artery clamp. After reperfusion following a 2-hour ischemia, muscle samples were taken for biochemical and histopathological analyses. RESULTS Malondialdehyde levels were determined to be at statistically higher levels in the control compared with that in the Montelukast group (p=0.002, p
