Table 1.

Kidney carnitine, glucose, and lactic acid concentration (μg/g wet tissue mass). Group categories abbreviations: S—sham operated rat group; S + M—sham operated + meldonium rat group; I/R—ischemia/reperfusion rat group; I/R + M—ischemia/reperfusion + meldonium rat group. Number of animals per experimental group: n = 8. The data are given as mean ± standard error. Minimal significant level: p < 0.05. Significantly different: ^a in respect to S; ^b in respect to S + M; ^c in respect to I/R group.
