Hypoxia and reperfusion produces overproduction of ROS (reactive oxygen species), which may lead to mitochondrial dysfunction leading to cell death and apoptosis. Here, we explore the hypothesis that Prdx6 protects the spinal cord white matter from hypoxia-reperfusion injury and elucidate the possible mechanism by which Prdx6 elicits its protective effects. Briefly, rats were deeply anesthetized with isoflurane. A 30-mm section of the spinal cord was rapidly removed and placed in cold Ringer's solution (2-4 °C). The dissected dorsal column was exposed to hypoxia with 95% N |
