Dxtxpx, i actually don't have an example in a clinically oriented format, however, my guess would be that it would be related to myocardial infarction, since this injury is related to reperfusion of ischemic tissue. According ot robbins pathology, there is no defineite mechanism as to why reperfusion of ischemic tissues causes injury, but it produces free radicals, maybe because not ALL cells die during this ischemic episode but rather are biochemically compromised so if perfused can result in formation of free radicals with the newly oxygentaed blood causing MORE damage. Hence antioxidants can be given to a patient before reperfusing their ischemia to prevent formation of free radicals. I hope this helps, this was also a board question, but i dont know how the question was asked but was just told to know that antioxidants are given in reperfusion of ischemic tissues. Hope this helps.
