From: Ischemic conditioning by short periods of reperfusion attenuates renal ischemia/reperfusion induced apoptosis and autophagy in the rat

Figure 2

Effect of ischemic conditioning on ATP content, reactive oxygen species (ROS), myeloperoxidase (MPO) and NADPH oxidase activity detection from the rat kidney. A reduction in renal ATP content is noted in I15 × 4, I30 × 2 and I60 groups when compared to sham control group. The enhanced ROS (B), MPO (C) and NADPH oxidase activity (D) was significantly increased in the ischemia/reperfusion kidney with different ischemic conditioning treatment. The enhanced renal ROS amounts, MPO activity and NADPH oxidase activity are displayed in an order of I60 > I15 × 4 > I30 × 2 > sham control (C). Data are expressed as mean ± SEM (n = 6 in each group). *, P < 0.05 vs. C group. #, P < 0.05 vs. I60 group.
