Hypothermia is better than ischemic preconditioning for preventing early hepatic ischemia/reperfusion in rats.

CONCLUSION: TH was the most effective method of protection against early I/R injury. Isolated IPC entailed triggering of second-line antioxidant defense enzymes. Combined TH+IPC seemed to confer no additional advantage over isolated TH in relation to the inflammatory process, but had the advantage of completely avoid second-line antioxidant defense enzymes.
