Comparison of the level of IL-18 in peripheral blood between the two groups (n=10). The level of IL-18 in the peripheral blood of TG rats was lower compared with that of CG rats at T1, T2 and T3. *P<0.001, vs. TG rats. T1, 30 min after ligating; T2, 30 min after reperfusion; T3, 60 min after reperfusion; TG, treatment group; CG, control group; IL-18, interleukin 18.
