	Sham		IR
	HO-2+/+ (n = 5)	HO-2−/− (n = 5)	HO-2+/+ (n = 6)	HO-2−/− (n = 8)
Blood urea nitrogen, mg/dl
Day 1	19 ± 1	20 ± 1	39 ± 6	36 ± 5
Day 2	23 ± 2	24 ± 1	35 ± 2	35 ± 4
Plasma creatinine, mg/dl
Day 1	0.20 ± 0.02	0.20 ± 0.02	0.38 ± 0.06	0.37 ± 0.03
Day 2	0.19 ± 0.03	0.20 ± 0.02	0.28 ± 0.04	0.28 ± 0.01

Values are means ± SE; n, number of mice. HO, heme oxygenase; IR, ischemia-reperfusion.
