Isoflurane protects against intestinal apoptosis after renal ischemia–reperfusion injury (IRI). Representative fluorescence photomicrographs (of 4 experiments) illustrating apoptotic nuclei (TUNEL fluorescence staining, green) in the small intestine. The left side of each panel depicts a 100× fluorescence photomicrograph with a highlighted area (white box) enlarged to 400× on the right side the panel. Mice were exposed to 4 h of pentobarbital after sham operation (A) or renal IRI (C) or to 4 h of 1.2% isoflurane after sham operation (B) or renal IRI (D). Tissues were collected 24 h after renal IRI.
