Renal inflammation during recovery phase of young and aged mice. (A) In immunohistochemical staining, infiltration of F4/80+ macrophages increased during recovery phase in both young and aged mice and remained for a significantly longer duration in aged mice than in young mice, (B) Prior to IRI, the renal expression of TNF-α, IFN-γ, and IL-12 was higher in aged mice than in young mice, suggesting the presence of low-grade inflammation. After IRI, they were increased more in aged mice than in young mice and the difference was greater on day 28, (C) The number of neutrophils was also significantly higher in aged kidneys. Magnification: ×100, *p < 0.05 compared to young mice, n = 4–6 per group.
