RT-PCR product of TNF-α and ICAM-1 using template RNA extracted from 4 h post-ischemic liver tissues (A). IPO significantly abrogated liver warm I/R-induced increases in TNF-α and ICAM-1 mRNA expression. Lain 1-5: sham; I/R+L-NAME; I/R; IPO+I/R+L-NAME; IPO+I/R. Representative experiments of three are shown in each case. The mRNA band intensities of TNF-α and ICAM-1 in sham, I/R+L-NAME, I/R, IPO+I/R+L-NAME, IPO+I/R groups were compared as indicated (B). (n = 8). Data are mean ± SD from three separate experiments. * p < 0.05 compared with other groups.
