Popis: Background Pro‐NTs (precursor of neurotrophins) and their receptor p75 are potential targets for preventing microvascular dysfunction induced by myocardial ischemia–reperfusion injury (IRI). p75ECD (ectodomain of neurotrophin receptor p75) may physiologically produce neurocytoprotective effects by scavenging pro‐NTs. We therefore hypothesized that p75ECD may have a cardioprotective effect on IRI through microvascular mechanisms. Methods and Results Myocardial IRI was induced in Sprague‐Dawley rats by occluding the left main coronary arteries for 45 minutes before a subsequent relaxation. Compared with the ischemia–reperfusion group, an intravenous injection of p75ECD (3 mg/kg) 5 minutes before reperfusion reduced the myocardial infarct area at 24 hours after reperfusion (by triphenyltetrazolium chloride, 44.9±3.9% versus 34.6±5.7%, P
