The effect of erythropoietin on albumins levels during hypoxia reoxygenation injury in rats

Abstract

The aim of this experimental study was to examine the effect of erythropoietin on rat model and particularly in an hypoxia reoxygenation (HR) protocol. The effect of that molecule was studied biochemically using blood mean albumins levels.Materials and methods: 40 rats of mean weight 247.7 g were used in the study. Albumins 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 were that Epo administration significantly decreased the albumins levels by 9.28%+3.20% (p=0.0054). Reperfusion time non-significantly increased the albumins levels by 3.09%+3.52%  (p= 0.3405). However, erythropoietin administration and reperfusion time together produced a significant combined effect in keeping decreased the albumins levels by 5.37%+2.73% (p= 0.0072).Conclusions are that erythropoietin administration whether it interacted or not with reoxygenation time, has significant decreasing effects on albumins levels in a short-term context of 2 hours
