Ischemia-reperfusion injury is a common complication in liver surgery with oxidative stress related graft failure as a potential complication. The oxidative stress could affect hepatic drug transporters such as P-glycoprotein, which is crucial in the hepatic clearance of certain immunosuppressant drugs. Thus,, it is important to study its function after ischemia-reperfusion injury in vivo. Rhodamine 123 is a fluorescent substrate of P-glycoprotein and its hepatic disposition can be visualized using multiphoton microscopy in vivo using anaesthetized animals. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of long-term ischemia-reperfusion injury on P-glycoprotein function in hepatocytes using in vivo multiphoton microscopy.
