Table 1. Effect of salvianolic acid B (SAB) on the levels of renal markers in experimental groups.
| Group | Creatinine (mg/dL) | BUN (mg/dL) |
|---|---|---|
| Sham control | 0.69 ± 0.07 | 18.44 ± 2.10 |
| IR | 1.32 ± 0.18a ** | 29.49 ± 3.20a ** |
| SAB 20 + IR | 0.92 ± 0.11b ** | 24.53 ± 3.06b ** |
| SAB 40 + IR | 0.84 ± 0.08b ** | 23.12 ± 2.80b ** |
Data are reported as means±SD for 10 rats in each group.

IR group compared to the sham control group;
b
treatment groups (SAB 20, 40 mg·kg-1·day-1) compared to the IR insulted group. SAB: Salvianolic acid B; BUN: blood urea nitrogen; IR: ischemic reperfusion.
