Effect of ischemia–reperfusion on cytokine expression in the kidney. The left kidney of rats was subjected 45‐min ischemia followed by 24‐h reperfusion (I/R). As a control, rats were subjected to a sham operation but without inducing ischemia–reperfusion. The mRNA (A) levels and protein (B) of cytokines (MCP‐1, IL‐6) were measured in the kidney tissue. Results are expressed as mean ± SEM (n = 5 for each group). *P < 0.05 when compared with the value obtained from the sham‐operated group.
