Luteolin treatment attenuated oxidative stress and increased antioxidant ability in rats 24 hours after reperfusion. Renal tissues from control, I/R, and I/R + luteolin group rats were collected 24 hours after reperfusion. Markers of oxidative stress including (a) MDA and (b) 8-OHdG and markers of antioxidant ability including (c) SOD and (d) CAT were detected using the activity assay and ELISA kits. All data are expressed as the mean ± SEM, n = 6. ^∗P < 0.05, ^∗∗P < 0.01, ^∗∗∗P < 0.001, and ^∗∗∗∗P < 0.0001.
