Serum concentrations of creatinine (Cr), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), cystatin c (CYC), tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-10, and renal tissue malondialdehyde (MDA) content and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in rats in the sham (S), I/R, intralipid (I) and EIso groups (EIso 1, 2 or 4 ml/kg). Serum Cr, BUN, CYC, TNF-α, IL-6, IL-10 concentrations and renal tissue MDA content were significantly increased, and renal tissue SOD activity was markedly decreased after kidneys subjected to 45 min ischemia and 3 h reperfusion compared with the sham group. Compared with the I/R, intralipid and 1 ml/kg EIso groups, serum Cr, BUN, CYC, TNF-α, IL-6 levels and renal tissue MDA content were significantly reduced, and serum IL-10 level and renal tissue SOD activity were markedly increased after 2 or 4 ml/kg EIso pretreatment. Data represent mean ± SD. *P < 0.05 compared to S, P < 0.05 compared to I/R, P < 0.05 compared to I, §P < 0.05 compared to EIso 1 ml/kg.
