Table I.

Data summary of the effect of neutrophil depletion on hind limb skeletal muscle after IR. Tissues from mice treated with anti-Neutrophil serum (ND) or normal serum (NS) were harvested 24 hours following IR. Neutrophil depletion significantly decreased plasma levels of circulating granulocytes (*) together with reduced MPO (†) and ETs (‡) in the injured tissue. However, Neutrophil depletion did not significantly alter hind limb perfusion, muscle fiber injury, the steady state level of ATP or γ-Actin protein levels. *,†, ‡ indicates significant difference from the normal serum group.
