The role of reperfusion injury in photodynamic therapy with 5-aminolaevulinic acid – a study on normal rat colon

Reperfusion injury can occur when blood flow is restored after a transient period of ischaemia. The resulting cascade of reactive oxygen species damages tissue. This mechanism may contribute to the tissue damage produced by 5-aminolaevulinic acid-induced photodynamic therapy, if this treatment tempo...
