Fig 2. DEX improved histopathological scores and reduced markers of renal dysfunction and inflammation in renal IR injury, PAS X40.
Post-reperfusion treatment with DEX improved histopathological scores of renal tubular damage in diabetic rats (A). DEX reduced BUN and creatinine (B) and IL-6 and TNF-α levels (C) in renal IR injury. *p < 0.05, compared with D-sham baseline; †p < 0.05, compared with D-IRC group; ‡p < 0.05, compared with DEX pre-treatment group.
