Abstract
The topic I want to discuss in my contribution today is a topic füll of controversy. Perhaps at the moment it is not a topic for pharmacologists at all, but just a vision or even a fiction. Some people understand the term “tissue-protective effect of drugs” simply as a slogan in the marketing propaganda of the pharmaceutical industry. In my experience, this sceptical attitude is rather common among critical clinicians. And frankly speaking, from their point of view, such an attitude is fairly well substantiated.
