Background Intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury occurs after different surgical treatments, including intestinal transplantation. This harmful process may have an effect in remote organs, leading to multiple organ dysfunction syndrome and death. Therefore, to establish strategies to attenuate local and remote damage constitutes a challenge for experimental and clinical surgeons in the intestinal surgical field. Methods We evaluated the effect of ischemic preconditioning and tacrolimus pretreatment applied alone and in combination against local and remote damage caused by prolonged intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury in a mouse model of warm ischemia. Results Ischemic preconditioning applied alone and in combination with tacrolimus decreased histological damage (P
