This study investigated the effect of temporary occlusion of the aorta on the development of I/R injury of liver and kidney and the protective effect of montelukast, a selective reverse CysLT1 receptor antagosit. </span> <span lang="en-us" xml:lang="en-us"> </span> </span> </p> <p> </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"> <span class="hps"> <span lang="en-us" xml:lang="en-us">  </span> </span> <span class="hps" style="font-size:.9em;"> <b> <span lang="en-us" style="font-size:11pt;font-family:’Myriad Pro’, sans-serif;color:#222222;" xml:lang="en-us">Material and Methods: </span> </b> </span> <span class="hps" style="font-size:.9em;"> <span lang="en-us" style="font-size:11pt;font-family:’Myriad Pro’, sans-serif;color:#222222;" xml:lang="en-us"> </span> </span> <span class="hps" style="font-size:.9em;"> <span lang="en-us" style="font-size:11pt;font-family:’Myriad Pro’, sans-serif;color:#222222;" xml:lang="en-us">Twenty-one male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to three groups (n=7 per group) as G1 (no aortic occlusion and montelukast administration), G2 (45 min. aortic occlusion; no montelukast administration) and G3 (45 min. aortic occlusion, 10 mg/kg montelukast administration).
