Since there is considerable evidence that leukocytes contribute to tissue injury during ischemia and reperfusion, the present study was designed to: (1) determine whether reperfusion in vivo with leukopenic blood affords protection in a model of reversible hypothermic ischemia, (2) determine the duration of any protection, (3) characterize the relation between protection and duration of leukopenic perfusion, and (4) assess the effect of leukopenic reperfusion on myocardial glutathione content.
