Intestinal ischemia was induced in cats by partial occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery for 2 h.
Six cats received saline, and six cats were treated initially before ischemia with acadesine (2.5 mg/kg body wt i.v.) over 5 min as a bolus.
Thereafter, acadesine (0.5 mg.kg-1.min- i.v.) was given continuously during ischemia and 30 min after reperfusion.
