    Remote ischaemic preconditioning influences the levels of acylcarnitines in vascular surgery: a randomised clinical trial

    Vascular surgery patients have reduced tissues` blood supply, which may lead to mitochondrial dysfunction and accumulation of acylcarnitines (ACs). It has been suggested that remote ischaemic preconditioning (...
